Pre-condition: An expiry date is a mandatory field for any asset uploaded to the DAM.

As a CMP/DAM Administrator,
I want the ability to mark an asset as “Indefinite” when uploading it,
so that certain assets can remain active without an expiry date and are not affected by automatic expiry rules.

Acceptance Criteria

Upload Behavior

• When uploading an asset to the DAM, the Expiry Date field remains mandatory.

• A new checkbox option labeled “Set as Indefinite” is displayed next to the Expiry Date field.

Checkbox Functionality

• When the user selects “Set as Indefinite”, the system will:

• Mark the asset as having no expiry date.

• Disable or bypass the automatic expiry rule for that asset.

Validation Rules

• If “Set as Indefinite” is unchecked, the user must enter a valid expiry date before saving or uploading the asset.

• If “Set as Indefinite” is checked, the Expiry Date field becomes non-mandatory (grayed out or ignored).

System Behavior

• Assets marked as “Indefinite” remain published and accessible until manually removed or updated by an admin.

• Reporting and metadata views should clearly indicate that the asset is Indefinite.
