The latch having: a fork bolt movably mounted to the latch for movement between an open position and a closed position; a detent lever movably mounted to the latch for movement between a latched position and a released position, wherein the detent lever prevents the fork bolt from moving from the closed position to the open position when the detent lever is in the latched position; a bellcrank lever movably mounted to the latch for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the bellcrank lever moves the detent lever from the latched position to the released position as the bellcrank lever moves from the first position to the second position; and a hold open feature movably mounted to the latch for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the hold open feature is configured to engage and retain the bellcrank lever in the second position when the hold open feature is in the first position and wherein the hold open feature allows the bell crank lever to travel from the second position to the first position when the hold open feature is in the second position.
