[Koha] Koha sets due date to current date when checking out

No, the expiry date of the patron is 3 August 2031. System preference 
"ReturnBeforeExpiry" is set to "Don't require".

There are no holds on the item. This happens with any item in the 
catalog - none of them has any holds on them.

There is only one single circulation rule (for all patron categories and 
all item types) and this hasn't changed since the update. The option 
"Hard due date" is set to "none defined" and it cannot be changed to 0.

As said, when just entering the barcode, logfile "intranet-error.log" says:

  [Tue Dec 07 00:00:58.348990 2021] [cgi:error] [pid 19519] [client

As I found out it works if I set the due date manually before entering 
the barcode, and there is no message in logfile "intranet-error.log".

But of course, like before, it should also work when just entering the 
barcode and then use the defined circulation rule.

Best wishes: Michael
