<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When attempting to create a new rule that would automatically set the expiration date of a users account to 1 week after any log in, I discovered that the rule action that comes with user_expire module is completely broken.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>Install Rules module.<br>
Add a new reaction rule at /admin/config/workflow/rules/reactions/add<br>
React on event: User has logged in<br>
Label: Set expiration<br>
Save<br>
Add an action<br>
Action: Set a user expiration date<br>
Continue<br>
Context variables<br>
(User) Switch to data selection and choose "account"<br>
(Expiration timestamp) Switch to data selection and choose "@rules.current_date_context:current_date"</p>
<p>Save and save</p>
<p>See the following errors along the way:</p>
