Ability to add redirection URL before publish

As editors, we publish many redirect stories in Composer -ie, for branded content- and we can't add the redirect URL until the story is published, so we can't schedule a publication with the redirect URL. Will be great to have the ability to add the redirect URL before publish so once the story is published it is already redirected instead of the current functionality: first publish without the redirect URL and then update with redirect URL.

    Along with this, it'd be awesome to be able to schedule start and end times for a redirect using the Draft API. I create redirects via Postman it would be amazing if I didn't have to set a reminder to create, change or remove them and could just include that information as part of the API request.

    Totally agree. This seems to be a double up of: https://ideas.arcxp.com/ideas/SB-I-62

    I'm really curious to understand the scenario here: The story isn't published but you're already planning to redirect away from it?
