1 year ago Also if the start date is updated, not only the end date should be updated but also the event time (if necessary).
Example Start: 27 july 3pm End: 28 july 11 am
You update the start date to 29 july (3pm remains). In that case the end date is automatically set to 29 july (11am remains). So the end time is still before the start.
Generally I see 2 options (whenever start date or time are updated):
Option 1: Update and time to start time + 1 hour (e.g. 29 july 4pm).
Option 2: Remain the duration of the event (e.g. end: 30 july 11am).
I prefer option 2 because it is often that events have a fixed duration. But I would be fine with both.
When creating/editing an event:
If you update the start date, the end date is updated, so that it is not before the start date. Unfortunately, this does not happen with the time. So if you only change the time (to later), you can’t save the event because the end time is before the start time.
Suggestion:
If the start time is changed, check if the end date+time is before, if yes, update it to start time + 1 hour.
In many cases the end time is not so important, so a default of 1 hour is fine. And the suggestion would save users a few clicks (and an annoying error message).
