Feature request/idea: Auto update end-time field

[Hans Schollaardt]

Hi,

I quite often have to add several events one after another. Unfortunately, because the content consists of Microsoft Word table formats, it is not possible for me to add them easily through the (awesome!) csv import function. I have to do it by hand, copy pasting the content. So far, still good. But, I have to add the events which have start and end-dates on the same date. As I set the date, the end-time field is remains on the current date, which is in the past as opposed to the just set start-date! So, when setting a start-date, I also have to update the end-time of the event to the same date I just set in the start-date field.

Regarding the above stated ‘problem’, here are some feature/enhancement requests as seen through my eyes:
– Feature request #1: Update the end-date and time field to the newly set start-date and time.
– Enhancement #1: make the datefield use a tab-index, so you can jump from one field to another, selecting date, month, year field, and next hour and minute field (and so on…). This is a lot faster then using the date picker (which does not show up right for me by the way ;))
– Enhancement #2: using a default (selected) location and/or organiser of the event.

Feel free to contact me! 🙂

Keep up the good work,

With kind regards,
