Hi all, I would like to understand more about the forwarding feature in SailPoint. Below are a few scenarios:

1. Will the start and end date be removed from the identity once the end date has passed? Or the entire xml with regards to forwarding be removed?

```auto
<entry key="forward" value="INL1DAE"/>
      <entry key="forwardEndDate">
        <value>
          <Date>1742054399999</Date>
        </value>
      </entry>
      <entry key="forwardStartDate">
        <value>
          <Date>1741881600000</Date>
        </value>
      </entry>

```

1. If there is only start date and NO end date does it mean it will indefinitely forward?  

2. If there is NO start date and NO end date does it mean it will indefinitely forward?

Hi Hemant,

For 1 would like to confirm:

1. The start and end date will remain in the identity unless manually removed?
2. Will it deem as permenant setting of forwarding personnel even though the end date past?

1. yes , it remains as is till manually removed
2. I believe the processed which are configured OOTB will not forward if end date is past however if you some custom code to forward then you need to add logic to check these dates before forwarding
