Update an Asset's Location While It Is Checked Out

Update location in an asset's Actions menu is no longer greyed out while the asset is checked out on a booking. Record where the equipment actually is, and the move is logged like any other.

Update location in an asset's Actions menu used to be greyed out while the asset was checked out on a booking, with no reason given. You can now use it. The new location is saved and written to the asset's activity like any other move. For quantity-tracked assets, Manage placements is available the same way.

This matters when equipment goes out for a long time. Tools sent to a job site on a booking for weeks can now show the job site instead of the warehouse they left from. A checked-out kit could already be moved, taking its assets with it; single assets now work the same. The asset edit page, the bulk Update location action and the scanner already allowed it.

The booking still owns the asset's status and custody: the custody actions, Archive and Delete stay unavailable while it is checked out. An asset that sits in a kit still moves with its kit.
