Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom post type, which I want to expire after 3 years (basically a user will pay for the right to have a document searchable on my website for 3 years). Is it possible in Toolset, that when a 'post' is input via the Post Form, that an expiry date is automatically added to the post which is 3 years after the date of the publish date?

Is there any documentation that you are following? I looked but couldn't find a suitable example

Is there a similar example that we can see? No

What is the link to your site? Under development at the moment

Hi Keith,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Yes toolset is able to handle post expiration however it will need to be enabled. I would recommend following the instructions in the link below in order to do this.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
