Enhancements to existing features
This update simplifies the out-of-office period setup in user preferences. Previously, users had to navigate through multiple steps to set an end date, leading to potential errors. Now, separate start and end date fields are introduced, making the process clearer and reducing the risk of unintentionally creating an indefinite out-of-office period.
Original PR description
In the user preference panel, the end date of the out-of-office period is not displayed by default. To define an end date, users must first click the field and then select the "Range" option in the calendar picker. Because these steps are not intuitive, users may enter only a start date and omit the end date, inadvertently creating an unlimited out-of-office period. To address this issue, we will introduce two separate fields: one for the start date and one for the end date. The end date field will appear only after a start date has been selected. This approach clarifies the workflow, reduces the risk of incomplete entries, and keeps the form view concise.
