Request for hours to be added to event duration options

jaybrooker commented 1 month ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

It's annoying to have to calculate the number of minutes are in X number of hours, when setting up events/meetings which are longer than 30/60/90 minutes. For example, an entire day/8 hour meeting becomes 480 minutes.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to be able to select the input format e.g. hours or minutes, or even days, when creating the event so I could select 8 hours easily. It would save me time when setting up events.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually calculating how many minutes are in each longer block of time, as described above, which is not ideal.

We can add a dropdown like that:

Also custom durations longer than 480min would be great. Could be used as booking calender for multiple days as well.

@CarinaWolli Is this supposed to be a front end/ cosmetic change only, like you are able to input minutes, hours, days via the dropdown but behind the scenes it gets converted to minutes and remaining flow remains same.

This is the first issue I stumbled upon here, and I implemented a rough version of what I said above, still need to familiarize myself with the entire codebase ofcourse.
