I think I've just remembered why I didn't add the start / end times to the default group settings.
Unlike all the other settings, which are static, these 2 are dynamic - in the sense that if I set an exact start time, eg 25/05/2020 12:00 and an exact end time, eg 15/06/2020 12:00 this will make sense for groups I make today - but not for groups I make in 12 months from now. It will mean constant updating if used. I'm wondering if instead of setting it to an exact date (via a calendar selector) we can set it to a valid strtotime() value that can be turned into a date when creating a group. For example if we had a site where they only wanted group members to edit groups during a semister we could have starttime = 'first day of sixth month' and endtime = 'last day of tenth month' then it will always make sensible group start/end dates no matter what year it was.
