Does anyone know if the ability to set Expiration Duration on a folder was a lost configuration item with the deprecation of the documents tab in designer. We are on 18.1 and looking to set cleanup on our temporary documents folder but I am having trouble finding this ability in the /design view for documents.

This question (or, pretty similar) was previously asked here, and I don't believe we ever got an official answer.
Good afternoon, and happy Friday!
Please refer to the documentation at: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/18.1/Appian_Release_Notes.html#documents-tab
This describes the behavior changes to knowledge centers in 18.1.
Hi all,
Knowledge centers with an expiration duration configured (any Knowledge Centers created in /design do not have one) continue to respect the configuration after upgrade to Appian 18.1+. The expiration duration of knowledge centers can still be updated via the Edit KC Properties smart service and the public API. As a reminder, documents (and their versions) that become expired aren't actually removed from the system and still need to be deleted (if the reason you are configuring it is to clean disk space).I agree that the release note in 18.1 could use some clarity, I'll make sure the team updates it.
As of 18.1, the only OOTB way to view that information is to use the knowledgecenter() function with the "expirationDays" property.
Do you still find yourself looking for this information often nowadays?
