We just don't care about it :-) Actually, it is a feature. Archiving means they will be republished after they have been moved, so they are available again, but in another place. /Steve

I'm not currently experience this nice feature with the 4.60 based site I'm working on. Once the scheduled function archives the pages with passed stop publish dates they still keep the same date under the archive root they've been moved to. Are there any steps to take that I've missed to get the stop publish date cleared so the pages are displayed in lists etc when moved to the archive? /Fredrik

Actually, there is a bug when changing metadata that is shared on the different languages. It will only look like it is changed on one language, although the page will work as though it's changed on all. I think that might be the cause of this strange behaviour. So while it might not look like the stop publish date is cleared, it actually is, and the page should show up in lists.

Thanks for the explanation :)

This seems like a verry odd way to use the archiving function. We have been getting bug reports from our users because of this. When a user sets a 'Stop publish' date and archives the page, the user expects the page to remain unpublished. The error here is that EP uses the Stop publish date as flag for archiving. Why re-publish something that the user wanted to unpublish.

If you don't wan't the pages to be republished don't set archive page property on the page. Or if you actually want the page removed archive it to the wastebasket. Flexible? Yes! /HAXEN
