Immediately expire an article from the Write tab

In the Write tab, there’s an option to reset the timestamp to a given time, or reset to ‘now’.

There’s an option to set an expiry of the article, too – but not to expire it ‘now’.

How viable is it to make this happen in core?

Can’t see any reason not to add it, besides taking up screen real estate. On a related topic, having a multi-edit option to ‘expire’ the selected articles might also be handy too.

Wanna raise an Issue for them so we can track it?

Re: Immediately expire an article from the Write tab

If it were me I suppose I would just set the article to “hidden”.

Valid, but not really practical where a site has articles visible that are expired (events, competitions, etc) and the articles still need to appear.
