[IUG] Does changing time to pickup require a new loan rule?

[Phil Shirley <pshirley at cuyahogafallslibrary dot org>]

I know that in general you should make new loan rules rather than 
copying existing loan rules, and I've done this several times.  Does 
anyone know if it's necessary to do this when you change the "time to 
pickup"?

The only bad effect I can think of would be that maybe things already on 
the hold shelf would have their "hold until" date changed, which would 
be bad if the new date was sooner than we had told the patron.  Does 
anyone know if this would happen, or if anything else bad might be 
caused by such a change?

The reason I want to change the "time to pickup" is, I understand that 
Teleforms will combine hold pickup notices into one call even if they 
have different hold-until dates, with the result that it might give the 
patron a hold-until date that does not apply to all items in the call. 
We're going to be implementing Teleforms soon, and currently we have 
different times to pickup for different kinds of things, so we want to 
make them all the same so Teleforms will always give the right pickup date.
