EG Rel 2.4.3

We were able to reproduce this

A staff member was able to place 19 holds within seconds of each other with just 19 clicks. Here is their process:

1. Log into a patron OPAC account by going to bark.cwmars.org/eg/opac/login
2. search for an item: I usually use ‘CWMARS the movie’ as it is a test item
3. on the search results screen, press the ‘place hold’ button on the right side of the screen
4. on the next screen, click the submit button but press it again after waiting for a second or so
5. the next screen will have a message saying ‘User already has an open hold on selected item’. This is where multiple holds can be placed: click on the submit button and click on it again immediately after as many times as you want. Every time that you click will place another hold on the item for the patron.
