    Feature Request: Ability to Define Custom Duration(s) to be Displayed in List

    In the Calendar there is currently the following list of Durations that can be quickly selected:
    • 30 minutes
    • 1 hour
    • 2 hours
    • Other

    It would be very handy to be able to add Durations I use frequently to this list (so that I didn't have to manually configure them each time via the Other option). In my case "15 minutes" is a Duration I use a lot. But I think just making it possible for the user to define their own list would be ideal (then each person can set the custom Durations that apply to them).

    Thanks for considering my request!

    Go into Settings/Calendar/default duration, and you can select 15 min, or any 5 min increment as the default duration for any appt.

      That is a great point. I was aware of that actually. For my purposes that route isn't desirable as I use the default 60 minute duration the most. I use 15 minute durations a fair amount (enough to ask for the feature I've requested), but not enough to make that my default duration. Thanks for the suggestion though!

        I have it set on 15 min duration as default, and it gives 30 and 60 minute as options.

          Right. What I'm saying is that I want 60 minutes as the default, and to be able to create a 15 minute option to be listed with the other options (eg, "15 minutes", "30 minutes", etc.) for instances where I want to quickly create a 15 minute event.

            I'll note this in our feature requests. We are low in screen space there.

              Maybe the way to go in the short term would be just exposing the list items as customizable, but not changing the number of slots initially? Eventually it would be helpful to create more than the current 3 slots (not counting "Other"), but starting out just giving the ability to customize what durations go in those slots would be nifty (and would avoid you having to deal with right away how to manage that space on various sized screens).
