Since the goal is already doable, why don't we rephrase this idea as "Make it EASIER to search..."? The solution could then be to extend the "not exists" operator to more fields in more record types.
This admittedly gets a little tricky for fixed-length fields and would have to be implemented more sparingly there. Not Exists already works on Item Due Date; I'd like to see it work on fixed fields which are not assigned a default value, like Item Sticky Status.

I just realized that deletes of iii_user would result in null references from the many-to-many table described in step 1 above. Add a deletion_date_gmt column to iii_user (like record_metadata currently has) so that no iii_user rows are ever actually deleted.

I'd like to add that while this could be beneficial to circ staff in streamlined workflows, I as a Sierra admin would like more control and therefore this configuration should be made on a per-dialog, per-user basis in the web-based admin app and never in the SDA's user-accessible Settings or Options.
For example, when placing an item-level hold in the SDA I am prompted to "Page For Item?" While paging seems like a no-brainer, there are times I do NOT want to page for the item because of testing I am performing, and I may very well have the item in hand at the time. So I would set MY Sierra login to display all popups, however tiresome they may be.
Another use case for admin-only control: We have a problem with circ staff clicking through item- and patron-level messages (the m-tagged field) as they pop up without reading them. Sometimes the message is REALLY important, such as alerting the staffer that service to the wi-fi hotspot in hand has been suspended (because it was previously overdue) and said service needs to be reinstated prior to filling a patron hold with the item.

A new field for placement information for items on the hold shelf will be added in Sierra 6.5 (planned for Q4 2025). Staff members will be able to see this hold shelf information at the Circulation Desk for items ready for pickup.

David said it: "This change would improve internationalization, accessibility, and consistency for all users, particularly in multilingual environments."
I am fortunate to be a native English speaker. Let's apply the Golden Rule when developing apps for those who struggle with the language.

As the ILS admin in a medium-sized public system, I rarely hear from or interact directly with patrons. But when the patrons aren't notified to pick up holds or receive a bill in the mail but never received an overdue notice, those issues are escalated directly to me and each case is time-consuming to research. We are not using LX Starter yet for other reasons, but reading through this request and these comments, I can't imagine there would be adequate time to devote to troubleshooting email delivery issues.

In response to Jeremy's comment - thank you, Jeremy - my vision of writing to review files was more simplistic and does not require the dynamic flexibility of programmatically locating an open review file to use. Instead, I imagined using one or more existing review files dedicated to the purpose of the reports mentioned as the primary use case in my first paragraph above.
Granted, a robust record import mechanism external to the SDA or other related applications could absolutely benefit from adding the missing features Jeremy points out, so please add "capacity" (bool_info.max) to the /v6/reviewFiles GET request as well as a new parameter named something like "showUnusedFiles".
