could you add the ability to show or hide menu items between a start date and an end date?

What's the use case here? Couldn't you remove the menu item when it's not time-appropriate?

Hi Katy, I manage the websites of some schools and sometimes I find myself having to plan the release of some articles and menu items in advance, for example during open school days or summer remedial courses, or enrollment pages for courses which are held only in certain periods of the year.

Interesting, thank you for the explanation. The plugin is focused on hiding/showing items by role so I don't think a date-based feature is a good fit.

I bet you could write a custom snippet either mimicking my "pseudo" role tip here: https://github.com/helgatheviking/nav-menu-roles#adding-a-new-role

You could also write your own custom callback for wp_get_nav_menu_items

Or you could write your own custom interface by mimicking what I do in this plugin: Add a field Save the menu meta Setup the menu item with meta Use meta to hide/show menu item Though granted, this is only the old menu editor... supporting the customizer would be significantly more work and supporting the Full Site Editor isn't even possible yet.
