Previously, if someone placed items on hold but wanted to suspend the hold into an inactive status (to reactivate by a certain date -- i.e. July 10, 2023), they could specify the date in their holds list. In Vega Discover, there is no option to suspend the hold until a certain date. A patron can only freeze the hold until they select unfreeze. Would there be a way to have both options (Freeze and inactive status with a specific date)? I know that patrons who are on vacation until a certain date appreciate selecting an exact date for the hold request to resume automatically.
