Create custom circulation statuses
To be able to create customized circulation statuses that work for our system versus using the only given statuses. For example, the ability to create various Withdrawn - Leased, Condition, Relevancy. This would then offer additional feedback for staff when stats are ran to determine why materials were withdrawn versus they were.

For the withdrawn example, does this really require custom circulation statuses? Or just a way to indicate/query the reason an item was withdrawn?
The reason Polaris has traditional restricted circulation statuses is because of our automated processes around certain statuses. Using the withdrawn example, our automatic Lost/Missing to Withdrawn processing would not know about custom statuses or which one to use.
If we reworked this enhancement as needing to be able to track/report on withdrawn reasons, we could plan for that within the automated processes.
