[Koha] Problem with new functionnality Hard Due Dates

[Nicole Engard]

I believe there is a development in the works to make it so that you
can edit rules in the Circulation and Fines matrix, but I can't seem
to find the bug link for you.  Maybe someone else can provide the link
to the bug/enhancement that talks about making it so that you can edit
the circulation rules instead of recreating them.
