We have introduced an optional field in the product form “Image Publish Date” which allows the manufacturer to select a date in future (not later than 12 months from current date).
By default, the selected date is the date on which the product is being created. It can be overridden by clicking on the checkbox next to it.
In the public product verification page, the images will be shown if the “Image Publish Date” has passed.
If “Image Publish Date” still in the future, a warning message “Images will be published for public on <image publish date>” will be shown.
Authorities can log in to see the product images regardless of the date.
