Last night right near the end of the business day, I noticed that a professor had added (via cloning) a bunch of new requests for a 2020/SP version of their course. I figured I'd clone things over to the correct 2022 semester the next morning. This morning, I noticed that all of those items were gone because Ares automatically moved all of the items to the "Item Removed From Reserves" queue because the 2020/SP semester has already ended. I've had something similar happen before where a professor will go back and edit an old request, attached to an old semester version of a course, by changing the Needed By date and possibly adding a new note to the request as well. When this happens, if I don't catch it before 5am the next morning, it gets removed from reserves automatically, again, because it's tied to a semester that has already ended.
I'm hoping that Atlas will make it so that professors can't do this (either accidentally or on purpose). If they accidentally create a new request under a semester that's passed, I'm hoping they'd get an error code instead. Relatedly, I don't think professors should be able to edit requests if they're attached to a term that's ended.
