I created a request for this a while back:

Much like how you can select row owner columns or protected columns, you could designate an ‘Expire’ column with an option to choose how many days a row can exist before it expires and automatically deletes that row. For example, if…

But…I recently had another thought about this. It’s not automatic and would take a little bit to set up, but I think a person could set up a single relation that gets the oldest row (prior to a certain date), and then add an action in a custom action somewhere in the app to delete the row through that relation. So you might have a custom action to show a detail screen, but you could add an additional action that would delete an old row as well. The user’s would still trigger the action, but the more they use the app, the more it would self clean the data by deleting old and expired rows.
