Automatically associate accounts when creating a new patron account with the Copy feature
I think it would be helpful to automatically create an association between accounts when creating a new account by copying an existing one, e.g., using a parent's account to create a child's account. The Block and Allow options should still be checked manually, though.
The association could be removed after account creation, if necessary.

Our previous ILS had this feature as a check box/toggle. It was helpful to have the option, as sometimes we wanted to associate (for example, children), but sometimes we just wanted to copy info (for example, a spouse). As a side note, we also had the option to choose which fields were copied when we did this, so we didn't have to copy birthdate, first name, last name, phone number, etc. if we didn't need them.

We'd prefer this be an optional setting in sysadmin rather than automatic. Our system does not use patron associations and we would not want them created automatically.
