# Feature Request

 * Please consider having an option to base the Default date/time offset to be based
   on the publish date instead of the current date (like for a new post). I believe
   this would be a better user experience for people starting to use your plugin
   on an existing site with existing content. Your current method makes sense for
   new content, but is annoying for old content.
 * For example if I set the default to expire content to +2 years and I try to quick
   edit an existing post to add Future Action it defaults to 2 years from the day
   I am editing. The behavior I expected was to show me 2 years from the date the
   post was original posted.
 * I hope my example makes sense and thank you for your consideration.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffeature-request-998%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Another benefit to this idea might be in even better support for Bulk Editing
   because if the field could be set to just show the offset and just be updated
   it would make the formula work for each post being editing based on publish date.

 * Done. Thank you.

 * I just spent a few hours adding this feature to 150 existing posts on a website
   that had over 200 bad links from old posts that just didn’t have relevance anymore.
   So I’m well familiar with how I wish it worked. (: It is a great plugin idea 
   though so thank you for all the work on it. I’m checking out other PublishPress
   plugins now because I liked this one.

 * Thanks for submitting your feature request. The feature request box acts as a
   voting system. The more upvotes it gets, the higher the chances of it being included
   in the plugin.
 * Thank you for also taking the time to explore our other projects. We appreciate
   it. 🙂
