Is there a way to set a flag to expire after a given timeframe?

Example:
1. Admin specifies the flag time length.
2. A user flags something.
3. After that amount of time it automatically goes back to unflagged, invoking all the unflag actions along the way.

thanks in advance.

Hey loze, did you get any further on this? We have a similar requirement and I'm wondering what path you took.

Hi dwightaspinwall,

Unfortunately I did not get anywhere with this. I started to code my own module (didn't really get anywhere), but then priorities of the project changed and I don't need it at the moment. I would be interested in seeing how you solve it, if you do.

I guess this should technically be a wontfix since the fix is not in this project ;)

I've just released a beta version here: http://drupal.org/project/flag_expire
Please try it out and report your findings in the issue queue over there.
