Enable bulk due date changes based on a set of items listed by barcode
We've had occasions where it would have been useful to be able to create a set of items, for example, in Alma Analytics. Then to take that set of items, e.g. a CSV or Excel file listing the barcodes, and then to update the due dates of all those items, to a new fixed value.
This is similar to the current Bulk Due Date Change functionality, but with the addition of uploading a list of items to change.

Is there any info as to a timeline for this enhancement?

Makes sense ! We should have a 'Run a Job' option to launch a job on a list of items to change the due date of the set's items to a new due date

Yes this would be a very useful enhancement. We have just moved to Alma and had this functionality with our previous system Sierra

This idea is very good in practice, especially when library is unexpectedly closed.

We need the possiblities to override existing due dates, even for items that are recalled. At this moment, our library is closed for all users for a unknow period, and we need to be able to bulk change existing loans even when there is a active request for the title.
