Wishlist: Ability to Convert Hold Types on Existing Holds

[Chauncey Montgomery]

Evergreen 3.9.1

Similar to Transferring Holds, it would be convenient if staff could convert a hold from one Hold Type to another, viz., title to metarecord hold.

For example, a patron has a hold on a regular print copy of a title. Afterward, the library acquires a large print copy. If staff want to switch the original hold to a metarecord hold, they need to place the metarecord hold, adjust the request date to match the original title hold, and then cancel the title hold.

A feature, like Transferring Holds, that would allow staff to simply select an existing hold to convert to another hold type would eliminate all the manual steps currently involved in switching from one hold type to another.
