Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

if i have a page watched, and i want to switch it to for example 3 months.

current problem
i need 4 clicks and moving the mouse in between.
1st click cancel the watch.
2nd click watch it again.
move my cursor.
3rd click the popup (which is vanishing).
move my cursor. 4th click 3 months.

can we have a different way of doing this?

This should be partially improved by T415173: Assign watchlist labels via the watchstar, though not entirely, as we wanted to retain the one-click-unwatch functionality in response to user feedback.

@Samwalton9-WMF i liked the short lived popup some weeks ago. is there any way to switch that on myself? i dont need one click unwatch as much as the click->popup that lets me change expiry time.

Not right now, but we're working on redeploying it in T415173 soon :)
