    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.

    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.

    Philip McNulty makes an excellent point. I am aiming low with this request, seeking a workaround as opposed to a more comprehensive solution which would require more development effort.

    Clarification: I failed to specify this is the PUT method, used for modifying a hold. There are are also GET and DELETE methods of the same /v6/patrons/holds/{holdId} form.

    Later this year I will need to create 900-1,000 new location code entries for our Bookmobiles. I could create that CSV file in under 30 minutes; it will take DAYS to enter all those location codes.
