Set "default email digest frequency" to 3-4 days

feature
2

The site settings of interest is default email digest frequency but as you may have seen it only has a dropdown with frequency options of daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

Each of the frequency option are translated to a number of minutes, so selecting the weekly option sets the site setting value to 10,080. For the 3-4 days you mentioned you probably want to set it to something like 5,040.

I thought I’d be able to use Postman & the API and change it through there since the specific value isn’t exposed by the interface.

But i tried to use

https://example-forum-name.com/admin/site_settings/default_email_digest_frequency?default_email_digest_frequency=5040&update_existing_user=true

& received an error response

{
    "errors": [
        "value"
    ]
}

So now I’m kind of curious as well if theres another way around this or potentially some reason why the options for this setting are limited
