[Koha] Add 4 days to <<reserves.waitingdate>>

[Chris Davis]

Thank you Caroline,

That solution totally make sense, but I apologize that I forgot to 
mention that our sorting machine checks in all of our materials, so we 
cannot ignore the hold trigger. Maybe there's a way to configure Koha to 
send hold notices four days later; however, that would mean that 
on-shelf items which are held would set on the holds shelf for four days 
before their associated notices go out.

Oh well. Thank you anyway for your help.

Regards,
