When adding a Time Zone to a Proton Contact, auto-complete / offer suggestions of TZ database time and check the user selected a valid TZ database time.
Background
Specifying a time zone is useful for me, and could be used for exciting future mail features like seeing what local time it is for a Proton Contact when sending them an email. However…
For now, it would help to standardize and validate user input for the Time Zone field. In my contacts, I store time zones as a TZ database time string. However, there are a lot of strings to remember and it would help me enter correct metadata if auto-completion kicked in for continents or city names.
Details
When the user types into the box, show a dropdown with suggestions of TZ database time strings. The user should also be able to click on an arrow to show a list of database times so the feature is more obviously exposed for a first-time user.
Outcome
Consistent and standardized data stored between Proton Contacts for Time Zone
