Enhancement: Allow Users to Specify Event Duration in Hours and Minutes Instead of Only Minutes

[suraj719]

Is your proposal related to a problem?

Currently, when users create an event, they have to specify the duration in minutes. This can be inconvenient, especially for longer events. For example, if a user wants to create a 2-hour 45-minute event, they must manually convert it to 165 minutes. This extra step affects user experience and can lead to mistakes.

Describe the solution you'd like

A more intuitive approach would be to allow users to enter the duration in hours and minutes separately. The UI could provide two input fields—one for hours and one for minutes.

=> If the user selects 2 hours and 45 minutes, the event duration should be displayed as "2hr 45min".
=> If the hours field is 0, then we display only minutes (e.g., "30min" instead of "0hr 30min").

This would enhance usability and make scheduling events more user-friendly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative could be using a dropdown or predefined time slots, but this might limit flexibility. Another option could be allowing natural language input (e.g., "2h 45m"), but a dedicated hours/minutes input would be the most straightforward and accessible solution.

Additional context

This change would align with how most scheduling tools handle time inputs, improving overall usability. A simple UI update with backend validation would be sufficient to implement this feature.
