The start time should appear as the next hour after the current time, if you have the Timezone set correctly in calendar Options. I don't think there's a way to set a default start time, only a default duration.

Wow, that is excellent & quick support, thanks!

I see, it is like a "rolling" default dependent on the current time. Still, in case we routinely would need to setup a number of events all starting, say, at 08:00h on various dates, it would be more efficient to have a user-defined default start time... and default end-time (or default duration), even.

If you create an event with a specified start and duration, it can be copied and pasted onto other days with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V (see picture). That might work with events that are essentially the same except for the date.

Good to know, that will be helpful.

I would also suggest opening a ticket at Bugzilla with this as a feature request.

My problem is that the start time/date dialog box is greyed out, so I cannot untick or change it in any way. So all new events are due now and start reminders immediately.

I am using loightbox. is there a way to un-gray the start time settings?
