Improve usability of 'Automatically Print Slip' in Resource Sharing
When receiving Resource Sharing Borrowing items, the 'Automatically Print Slip' option is only remembered for the current session, which leaves this vital function open to error.
This could be improved in one of the following ways (in order of preference):
Option 1: Provide a configuration option in one of the code tables to set the default (this would also be desireable for all similar functions elsewhere, such as in RS Lending).
Option 2: Make the last selected option persist across sessions so our staff can set it once and not have to remember to set it every time.
Option 3: Change the default setting to 'Yes'. (This was done for RS Lending back in 2016 under Idea 'Change default of Automatic Print Slip from No to Yes in Alma RS'). This is the least preferred option as it may disrupt other institutions workflows.
The Automatically Print Slip option in the resource sharing receiving interface was enhanced. This option is used when printing the Resource Sharing Receive Slip Letter when receiving a physical item. It now retains the last value you selected for this option.

Dear Moshe,
How is it going with the "Automatically Print Slip" feature in the RS? I am really tired of working with ALMA in the ILL and to always have to set the session into "YES". More than 3 years have passed without solution. I would be very pleased if you could improve this.
Many thanks!
Kind regards

This is important for us as well, as there is no other option to print this slip (print slip is only available when receiving the item)
