Hi Stuart, We do something very similar in our system for renewals, allowing clients choose between renew now, renew later, or let expire. For those configured we scripted the RWI through batch to set the let expire flag for the domain. This will be changed to use the API call as soon as it's available. We have some things that script the RWI, but I've found these to break suddenly when formatting changes happen in the web interface. All of these are being phased out as soon as we can get support in the API for what's in the RWI.
