RS-Enable shipped items to remain managed with their original TOU in order to allow requests to be done with the TOU of the permanent loc.
In some cases, requests for items under a Resource Sharing library are cancelled as their terms of use are not taken from their permanent locations. It should be possible to have shipped items remain managed by their original TOU in order to allow requests to be done with the TOU of the permanent location.

It would be necessary that requesting is allowed for items in Resource Sharing because
1. requests already existent BEFORE the item goes to the RS partner would indicate that the item can be loaned to RS partner only with a short loan period. Now these requests are cancelled as soon as the item is moved to the temporary RS location.2. requests that are placed WHILE the item is at the RS partner stop renewals - otherwise it would be not possible to reach the goal of borrowing items not needed by our users to other library's users as long as they need it (1 year maximum renew date) and guaranteeing that our users get items as fast as possible when they request it
This behaviour should not only be enabled for Resource Sharing, but for ALL temporary locations. As soon as an item is moved to a temporary location, the library should be able to decide if the request rules of the temporary or permanent location are in place. So probably the best place to configure this is for the (temporary) location.
