Renewing items on the checkout screen does not use the Specific Due Date option

[Dale Rigney]

Tested on Evergreen 2.7.2 and 2.9.0.

When you checkout an item from the patrons Check Out screen with the Specific Due Date box checked and that item is already checked out to that patron a pop up window informs you that the patron has the item checked out already and gives you the option to renew the item. If you select the renew option the item is renewed without using the Specific Due Date entered on the screen.
If the library has the Library Setting “circ.checkout_auto_renew_age” set then the item will be auto renewed with no warning messages ignoring the Specific Due Date entered on the screen.

To test:
1) checkout any item
2) Go to the patrons checkout window
3) Click on the Specific Due Date box and enter a desired due date.
4) Check out the same item
5) On the pop up window choose the renew option
6) The due date on the checkout window will not show the entered desired due date.

Just tested this, and it does default to the standard checkout period for the item over the specified due date on a renewal.
