Attention Librarians! We need some input for dealing with Bug 9805 - Lost items are un-lost if returned, but not if renewed. http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9805 The issue is that renewing a lost item does not mark it as found. I filed a patch to correct the issue, but there are concerns about patrons being able to 'un-lose' items by renewing from the OPAC. We have two proposed solutions solutions: 1) Prevent the renewing of lost items 2) Make renewing a lost item marking it as found controlled by a system preference I submitted a patch for the latter solution, but after some thought I and some other developers think the former solution would be best. What do you all think?

Why not prevent renewing of lost items from the OPAC, under the assumption that staff aren't going to do that? -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Hi, We have seen this happen here in Roseville. I think preventing the ability to renew a lost item would be great, I know we would love that here, but maybe a system preference would be best for those who would like to still renew them.
