Comment 12 for bug 1783793

Setting an activation date in the staff client now suspends the hold as expected.

Activating a hold prior to the activation date doesn't remove the activation date, but I don't think that necessarily matters.

I also verified that it will now allow you to pick a hold activation date in the past.

>>Are you saying that when you go activate an already suspended hold, you want the activate option to not actually activate it, but to set the hold activation date instead?<<

If the hold is already suspended (with no activation date), you don't have to click Activate, you can just click Edit Hold Dates. The way I'm looking at it is that the Suspend and Activate options are immediate, and the Edit Hold Dates option is for scheduling. It makes sense to me this way.

Since the OPAC issues have a different bug, I'm going to go ahead and sign off on this one. It may be that it could use some additional tweaking in the future for usability, but it does solve the actual bug that was initially reported.
