@Johannnes89 Does the suppress option appear after you select the indefinite expiry option?

We changed the behaviour when an option cannot be chosen from disabling it to hiding it.

Indeed, just noticed the button appearing when indef. blocking a user. Makes sense to only show it if the indefinite option is selected.
