- expiry required `date` The document will be unrecoverably deleted on the given date

- update priority `v13.0.6` `number` A document update can be important for search relevance or not, by poviding the system a priority you can help it understand what updates are high priority (1) and what updates can be delayed without huge impact for search relevance (3). 1 is highest priority, 2 is medium priority, 3 is low priority and 0 is wait-for-insert.

Default `1`

A typical wiring for [set document expiry](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/storage/function_update_document_expiry): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `guid` pin; [date now](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/date/date_currentdate) feeds the `expiry` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_debug).
