Dan, thanks for testing. We don't use the feature so I don't know if the situation you mentioned is an issue. I was mainly concerned with getting rid of it. I think the webclient fix for the issue would have the same problem.

It looks like this gotcha was known when the feature was enhanced.

I think we need to hear from someplace that does use it in a consortium where some ou's allow it and others don't.

It seem reasonable to me that if my library doesn't support this feature, then I cannot call them and ask them about changing it. If I called the pickup location that does support it, they would be able to answer questions about it and would be able to change the pref on my account... if they had the correct permissions.
