Bug Description
Evergreen will only allow duration by hours, days, months, rather than "End of business day" or "End of day". We currently have to set a duration of 2 hours with a very generous grace period, and the receipt reflects this misleading 2-hour duration. We have many of these materials, so using the "Specific due date" for each of these transactions is much too laborious for our library. Thanks for looking in to this!
We currently use EG 2.9.1.

Probably too much of a pain to set up by hand, but possibly workable may be the "hard due date" functionality. A script to populate the dates ahead of time could be used.
Dunno if it supports times or just dates, though. I think the staff client interface doesn't allow times, but the database doesn't seem to be date restricted, so script-population should work. So long as the duration rule from the circ matchpoint result isn't divisible by 24 hours I think the time component from the database would be retained.
Note that I haven't actually tested this idea.
