Automatically expire after x days?

I saw this as a request ages back but I don’t think it appeared… or if it did, I’m missing something.

I have my options set to Delete after 90 days (which the plugin changed to 12 weeks and 6 days… smooth!). I left all the other changes alone, since I’m deleting and they’re irrelevant.

But when I create new posts, they aren’t set to expire, so the default isn’t defaulting.

I tried it on a separate install, in case the other plugins were weirding things out, but that one defaulted to “Disable”… which kinda defeats the point of setting a default.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to set the default to “Enable”, with a default number of days?
