[Koha] Auto renewal not working

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Michael,

I haven't tested, but from the message I'd try to see if changing "No
automatic renewal after" to non-empty (x days) makes any difference.
Maybe leaving it empty doesn't work as expected in this case or the
behavior might have changed.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
