Yes, as I follow things this is correct - I was thinking of the situation where: A places a hold from home B picks up the book off the shelf before a hold list is checked Try to checkout to B, print slip, hold never confirmed I think you are getting at language something like: this item has a hold for Patron A versus this item is on hold for Patron A -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
