I understand that this is a feature offered during RootsTech, but it is so useful that it would be nice to have as a permanent feature of Family Search.

Is there any way to do that?

    FYI

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    'Yes', that would be nice ...

    But ...

    That Said ...

    That most likely CANNOT happen ...

    There are "Privacy" issue involved ...

    There are a myriad of "Privacy" Laws, within the many various, Countries; and, Unions, throughout the World - it is a nightmare to negotiate.

    The "Family Tree" Part, of 'FamilySearch', is used in many, Countries; and, Unions, throughout the World; and, as such, 'FamilySearch' MUST adhere to the myriad of "Privacy" Laws, throughout the World.

    Unfortunately ...

    When, one opts to participate in "RootsTech"; and, specifically, in "Relatives at RootsTech", there MUST be an "End Date".

    Otherwise, one literally, LEAVES the 'Door Open', for those, with 'nefarious' intent ...

    [ And, believe me, there are those, they do exist ... ]

    As an aside ...

    In relation to "Relationship Viewing"...

    'FamilySearch' basically advises, that such be "Turned", ON; as; and, when required; and, and, OFF, when NOT required ...

    In other words, NOT, just left ON, indefinitely ...

    Again, for "Privacy" ...

    Here is a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

    Relationship Viewing: How do I turn on or off the option to view my relationship to other users?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-turn-on-or-off-the-option-to-view-my-relationship-to-other-users

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-turn-on-or-off-the-option-to-view-my-relationship-to-other-users

    Thus ...

    That Said ...

    "Relatives at RootsTech" is NO different - there MUST be an "End Date" ...

    Just my thoughts.

    I know, that this certainly does not help/assist; but, I hope, that this may provide you with, some additional, insight; and, perspective.
