Ramsons - Requests not transferring during binding process

Description: When binding pieces in Receiving, if the bound pieces were previously linked to item records and those item records had corresponding requests, a modal will appear that says, ‘There are requests on the following pieces: Item barcode(s). Transfer requests to the new record?’ Click Transfer tells FOLIO to associate the requests with the item record for the newly bound item. However, the requests are remaining with the original items, rather than transferring.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log into (folio/folio).

2. Create and open an ongoing order.

   1. Order format = Physical

   2. Bindery active = true

   3. Material type = molly

3. Actions > Receive

4. Create at least two pieces, with linked items.

5. Receive those pieces, adding barcodes.

6. Check in those items using the barcodes from the previous step.

7. Place an item-level request on each item.

8. Return to the receiving record from step 3.

9. Bind the pieces together.

   1. When prompted, select to transfer the requests.

Expected result: The requests transfer to the bound piece, retaining the order they were placed in.

Actual results: The requests remain with the original item.

Recording from training tenant:

I originally though this might be because the request policy allowed only paging and that’s not possible on an in-process item. However, when I updated the request policy, the problem persisted. If the request policy does prevent this action, I would expect some notice that the request transfer failed so that staff could investigate further.
