Yes, I agree that cleaning up old Draft entries and correcting/deleting old entries is a job for the administrator. Currently I do what you've said: commenting out "restrict edit time", changing the entry, commenting in "restrict edit time".
There are already some commands specifically for the admin:
Admin textarea = <cols>,<rows>Admin user = <user list>
It would make sense to add more of them, for this specific case:
- Admin restrict edit time =
<hours>
If that is set to "-1", then the Admin can edit old entries regardless of their age. Actually there is no option to "unset" restrict edit time inherited from a global config: a negative time would make sense as "disabling" restrict edit time.
Another item for the endless wishlist ;-)
Cheers, Andreas

Hello,
I have experienced some inconveniences with the restrict edit time option.
First, it is not possible for admin users to edit an entry after the edit time.
The restrict edit option allows admin users to edit posts from other users,
so I think admins should also be allowed to edit posts after edit time.
As they can edit the config and temporarily disable the restrict edit time option, which is an issue.
Secondly, if a user made a draft and did not submitted it before the edit time runs out,
the draft got stuck as it cannot be edited (and submitted) any more.
Best wishes,
Sebastian
