Default Content Retention Policy for Assignment Folders

Hi all, I believe this exists internally under: FR-4624 - posting here for any further thoughts.
Currently it is not possible to set a global default policy for [assignments] folders. Presently offered are Content Retention options for ‘Default Site Policy’ and ‘Default Personal Folder Policy’.
However, it feels that there should perhaps be a third option that allows a ‘Default [assignments] Folder Policy’ as this retention period is again likely to be a different period of time compared to the Default Site Policy containing non-assignment content.
Manually setting the policy on the folders is of course possible, but on a large scale not feasible and difficult to keep track of.
This should help any institution where they are managing their assessment-based content to align with stipulated retention periods.

In the UK at least, the Office for Students retention guidance is 5 year retention for digital media in assessment. A global Assessment folder setting would be appropriate.
