[Koha] Language confusion on the Circ & Fine Rules

Hi,

If the section "Default checkout, hold and return policy for all libraries"
is not defined, the default values are used.
These default values are hardcoded : the max issue quantity is undef (no
limit), the hold policy = 2 (i.e. holds are allowed for any patron) and the
return policy = homebranch (i.e. items has to be returned to the homebranch)

Regards,
Jonathan

The code is in C4::Circulation:
C4::Circulation::GetBranchItemRule, lines
    # built-in default circulation rule
    $result->{'holdallowed'} = 2 unless ( defined $result->{'holdallowed'}
);
    $result->{'returnbranch'} = 'homebranch' unless ( defined
$result->{'returnbranch'} );
and C4::Circulation::GetBranchBorrowerCircRule line
    # built-in default circulation rule
    return { maxissueqty => undef, };
