Ability to delete/remove redundant copyright records from the Approval Requests list
We would like the ability to delete/withdraw or otherwise remove pending copyright approval requests in the Approval Requests list.
There are a few reasons why a Library may wish to do this:
-Associated citation has since been deleted
-Patron digitization request has been cancelled
-Citations with copyright records that require manual approval were added to the Approval Requests List as part of the rollover. However, some of these units will not be using Leganto and will never submit a reading list.
In these cases, rejecting copyright is not appropriate as there was no genuine request for copyright approval. Rejecting will generate incorrect metadata and may affect future requests for copyright approval.
As a result of these scenarios, the tasklist can become full of redundant citations with copyright that will never be approved or rejected, and there is no way to remove them from the List. Such is the case with our own Approval Requests list.

Definitely support this idea. Anything that allows us to remove redundant data gets a big tick from me.

This is still a problem for us. Our case (05313147) has been closed and we have been advised that the new feature for date range selection is very useful to help us with this problem.
It's a nice feature but it in no way addresses the underlying problem that we have approval requests that just keep growing and growing and will never be either approved or rejected because the citation was deleted before we could address it.
So, NERS or idea exchange is our only hope.
Under NO circumstances do we want to delete approval requests that are either approved or rejected. We just want to be able to withdraw them before they get to that stage if there is no citation, or a cancelled digitization request. -
Woot. Had some votes become available so I have added 2 for this idea.

I don't have any votes left. But this is an issue for us when we rollover lists, the copyright is calculated and then before the course starts the instructor decides to delete citations from their rolled over list before the course starts and the library has even started to process them.
