Can’t schedule same action for multiple posts with workflow
-
Hello!
I’ve created a ACF Custom Post Type which I want to automatically delete 90 days after the post is published (after being submitted to pending review). Additionally, I would like to add 90 days to that delay if the post is updated.
So far I’ve done this by enabling “Future Action” to all new post (delete post after 90 days) and adding following workflow: Post is updated -> Scheduled delay ({{onPostUpdate1.postBefore.future.date}} with +90 days offset) -> delete post).
I’ve encountered two issues developing this feature with PublicPress Future:
- In scheduled action two actions appears for the same post, one future action for the original 90 days and one for the workflow which is 180 days.
- It seems as only one action by the workflow can be scheduled at once. When updating a post, a scheduled action of that post appears in “Scheduled Actions”, but when updating another post the previous action for that post disappears as a scheduled action for the current post appears.
By disabling the “Future Action” and only going with the workflow: Post is updated -> Scheduled delay (When the step is activated with +90 days offset) -> delete post) the first issue is resolved. The feature where 90 days is added won’t work but if this would be the only possible way, Im fine with that. But I still don’t get why only one action is able to be scheduled at once using the workflow feature.
Grateful for all help I can get!
