24-hour clock for appointments
Ante Ohlsén
I would like to have the option to use a 24-hour format for appointments in the calendar. My target audience misunderstands my available times thinking they are either in the morning or in the middle of the night, when they are actually in the afternoon :)

Ante Ohlsén I just did some testing to confirm the calendar appointment shows the workspace's timezone, so your contacts should only see what times you set available for yourself.
Maybe I've misunderstood you? Can you provide some clarity on the issue? Thanks.

Yes, you sort of did, haha! :)
The issue is that the time is displayed in a 12-hour format with PM and AM. In Sweden (and across Europe), we use the 24-hour format for time. So, when it says "02:30 PM," it’s often interpreted as "02:30 AM." Instead, we would write "14:30." Do you see what I mean?
From what I’ve heard, this is what you in the States (assuming you’re based in the US) casually refer to as "military time," but it’s actually the standard format for us in Europe.
I hope this clarifies it all!

Ante Ohlsén: Ah! yes, I understand now. Thanks for clarifying that. This is a good request to leave open. Thanks for making this feedback and I hope it gets tons of votes.

Hey Ante Ohlsén Thank you for your feedback and adding this request. I'm sorry to hear there is some confusion.
I may be able to help you out, as I think our current features cover what you're looking for. Can I get the link to your appointment? Also, what timezone are you in? Looking forward to your response.
