KB-1021 Documents expire after moving them to another knowledge center

Symptoms

Documents start expiring at an arbitrary date after they have been moved to a new knowledge center with no expiration dates implemented.

Cause

The documents were moved from a knowledge center that had expiration dates to a knowledge center that did not have expiration dates.

Action

Use the Expiration Duration button and click OK on the dialog box (that says "0" days) to reset the expiration dates for all files. This will also re-enable any expired documents in that knowledge center.

Workaround

Set the expiration date in the old knowledge center to 0 before moving the documents to the new knowledge center to prevent documents from expiring.
