[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] copy holds

[Ryan Eby]

As Terran says the current_copy isn't populated until the hold is targeted (for pull list) or actually filled. It can be useful as a way of seeing quickly how many holds for a patron will be filled by things on the shelf vs returns. 

There are barcode and copy id columns you can add to the patron list to get the copy the hold is on though (at least on 3.3.5). Unfortunately, it isn't a link so you have to copy and paste to actually pull up the copy. It would be nice if more displays that showed unique identifiers were links to those bibs/items/patrons.

It doesn't populate in that column until the copy is actually targeted for the hold (which it can't do until the copy is in a status that can be targeted). 

I agree it would be helpful to be able to tell more easily which copy *will* be targeted when there is a copy-level hold, though.

Good afternoon - 
Does anyone know the reasoning behind the item barcode of a copy hold not appearing in the patron's list of holds? The item barcode doesn't appear until the item is Available. It seems to me that since the barcode won't change since the hold is a copy hold, the barcode should appear during all phases of the hold. 



Thank you.
