Bulk update held until dates
The ability to bulk change Held Until dates would allow library staff to perform this task themselves in a timely manner, rather than having to submit a ticket to Innovative.

We've been getting hit more often by extreme weather events and power issues in their aftermath. A method to bulk change held dates without taking further catastrophic risks with SQL scripts would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.

Our member library staff have been requesting this for years. There have been an increasing number of reasons why staff may want to extend held dates: emergency cold weather closure, emergency hot weather closure, emergency fire weather closure, not enough healthy staff to open that day, unable to send out hold notices due to technical problems, power outage, and the list goes on. In our system, staff have to extend held dates manually probably every other month so this feature would definitely be utilized regularly.

This was a previous Idea Lab challenge winner that was not migrated to Idea Exchange. I'm adding it now to support voting for the new enhancement process.
