[Feature] Suppress past dates in date options tab

[artus70]

If a certain event takes place regularly (e.g. a meeting), more and more entries accumulate in the "Date options" tab, which makes editing increasingly confusing. For archiving reasons, past events should not be deleted - but how could I achieve to be able to hide them (temporarily) in the "Date options" tab (because I won't ever need to actually touch them)?

Idea:

• Attach a time attribute to the entries shown in backend, e.g. data-date="yyyy-mm-dd"
• Use JS to hide entries with a date attribute earlier than "now" when activating a check box called "hide past dates"

Hey @artus70 ,

thanks for your input. Your idea sounds good, but only for single date entries. In general there are many options (cutout, replace etc.) and date configurations (recurrence & frequency) that have to check, if the entry is really "old". For this function every entry have to "execute" to check, if the entry has impact on the future or on the past.

So I suggest to use data-impact="past" and data-impact="future" as a "more general" approach of your idea.

Tim
