Not wanted before date option instead of Freezing holds
Would love to be able to put a hold on an item and enter a date when you want that hold to activate instead of freezing the holds. Sometimes when placing a hold and you're the only hold, it won't let you freeze the hold. Having a date for the hold to activate would be more ideal.

Hold Activation Date (Polaris Libraries Only)
A Hold Activation Date setting has been added for Polaris Libraries only. This setting can be found in the Staff UI Settings under the Cog Menu > Library Defaults > Patron Settings: Allow hold activation date. When this setting is on, patrons in Polaris Libraries will have an option to select a "I don't need this item before" date in the hold placing workflow. The default activation date is today's date. When a date in the future is set by the patron when placing a hold, the hold will appear in the patron's hold list in Frozen state until the activation date has been reached.
Note: Hold Activation Dates are not supported by the Sierra APIs at this time so this setting cannot be enabled for Sierra libraries.
