# ExpiryDateFields

The fields that contain the expiry date of the document (that is, the date when the document is deleted or expired into another database). The Content component treats these fields as ExpireDateType fields for the documents that you send in the index action.

NOTE: OpenText recommends that you use field configuration to set ExpireDateType fields, instead of setting this parameter for a single index action.

Separate multiple fields with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma. You can use wildcards.

When identifying fields use the formats:

- `/FieldName` to match root-level fields

- `*/FieldName` to match all fields except root-level

- `/Path/FieldName` to match fields that the specified path points to.

If you specify only the field name, the Content component automatically adds a `*/` to it.

Actions: | DREADD DREADDDATA
Type: | String
Default: |
Example: | `ExpiryDateFields=Document/DREExpiryDate,*/myExpiryDate` In this example, Content reads the expiry date from any `DREExpiryDate` field below the `Document` level and from any fields called `myExpiryDate`.
