3.3.4.1.5.1. Creating an Asset Expiration Field

*The Asset expiration feature can be used to set custom expiration dates for individual media assets. By default, expired assets will be still visible and usable from within Strawberry but show a clear warning label when being selected. There can only be one asset expiration field in total and it must be located within the Master Set of your custom asset metadata. In order to be able to set asset expiration dates, users must have the capability “Can set and modify asset expiration dates” enabled in their user role.

Before expiration dates can be set on media assets, an asset expiration field has to be created from within the Strawberry Admin panel.

1. Login to the Strawberry Admin panel
2. Click on “Assets”
3. Click on the “Custom Asset Metadata” bar to expand it
4. Click on the “Master Set” to expand it
5. Click on “Add Item”
6. Fill out the modal:
