Option to automatically remove submissions after given period.

Feature Request

It would be good to have an option to set a period that submissions are stored so removing submissions doesn’t have to be a manual process.

For example: 1 week, 4 weeks, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year.

Submissions that are older then this period are deleted automatically.

    Automatic submission retention is now available per form. You can set a retention period in Settings → Submission Settings, and OpnForm will permanently delete eligible completed and partial submissions during the hourly cleanup. Full setup and safety guide: https://help.opnform.com/en/article/how-to-automatically-delete-old-form-submissions-i6r7rt/

    The workspace-level default mentioned in your follow-up is not included in this release.

    Hi There,

    Thank you for sharing your suggestion!

    I can see how having the ability to automatically delete form submissions after a configurable retention period (such as 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year) could help reduce manual cleanup and make data management more convenient.

    We appreciate you taking the time to share this idea and provide specific examples of how you'd like it to work.

      Hi Archie,

      I see its already there! 😄

      Thanks! It would be really great if this could also be set on workspace level! this way we can always keep our promise to clients that submissions will be removed after the agreed upon period.
