Mask Element or Alarm until a specific date & time

Hi Dojo,
Would there be room to consider this feature suggestion for 2024?
https://community.dataminer.services/new-feature-suggestions/mask-alarm-element-until-date-time-calendar-selection/ 

The main benefit would be to quickly mask elements or alarms without having to calculate how many hours or days need to elapse until monitoring should be restored.

The "mask" wizard gui has just a slider or the text box to specify duration:

It would help to add also an option that allows operators to quickly select a date and a time.
A calendar icon could be just at the side of the slider, without taking much space:

Leaving here for evaluations.
Thanks

Hi Alberto,

Implementing a calendar icon for specifying the exact date and time for unmasking elements would be a great addition. However, I'd like to propose an alternative method; we are using a Scheduler module for scheduling events involving masking elements, services, or Views based on predefined events or maintenance timelines and unmasking at the end time using an automation script.

Great to read from you, Kawssar – hope you’re fine!
Thanks for your insight, appreciated.

Where Scheduler access can be shared across L1 and L2 engineers, this could be possibility – I’ll explore this further, although it would not be not as quick as right-clicking the alarm and selecting the time & date when the masking should be taken away.

Again, thanks for sharing – always great to have feedback from other DM-people! (;
