New feature "set expiry alert" - BUT WHERE IS IT?
I have read the new features list (January 21 2025, Mac 8.10.58) but cannot see where this "set expiry alert" option actually is?
• You can now set up expiry alerts for items. In edit mode, selec...
CONCLUSIONS: (after a couple of emails back and forth with Kevin, with thanks!)
1. Old and new items now seem to show the Alert drop-menu when using this new Date field.
2. Per item, you can only have ONE Date Alert. (A feature request exists to allow additional Alerts if the user has several Date fields set and wants them.)
3. Date formats (during both edit and final display) on both the Date field and the Alerts themselves need fixing, as they don't follow the users' system setting. (Much of the world uses either dd/mm/yyyy or yyyy.mm.dd – so this is confusing, especially when editing dates.)
[4. There may be an issue with what happens when the actual Alert goes off. This is a separate issue on the thread above. Or see here: New Feature "Expiry date" - Where is the alert?]
Thanks goes to kevin_li for their help in these matters.
Back again on the other side!
Well the issues are still there with this new feature, I'm afraid. See previous posts from a week ago above with screenshots showing the issues.
The date formatting issues persist in edit mode and final display mode (in edit mode, entry flips from dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy for example?!).
And AFAICT, the Date Expiry drop-menu failing to appear is worse on current login items rather than when setting up a new login item. Which isn't going to be good for users who potentially have hundreds of items stored before said feature arrived.
Thoughts please?
