@Matt Connolly No, it always happens in the background. If you need an aged to lost loan, you can set up a lost item fee policy which will age to lost very quickly (after a minute) and/or use change due date to manipulate loans to get items to age to lost.

@Emma Boettcher, is there a way to manually trigger an aged to lost transition?

"Anyway, I think the record last updated metadata could be considered a special case and we could leave that as Automated process while using System elsewhere. Automated process is used as the source for a record that is created directly in the DB (e.g. when you are migrating). It's not really FOLIO that is doing that so Automated process makes more sense there. In the case of something aging to lost, that really is a FOLIO action so System makes sense there."

"System" is consistent with fees/fines per @Holly Mistlebauer
