When I set a topic timer to auto-close topic, I am offered a convenient list of dates to choose from. Such a time saver!

However, when I set a timer to auto-close after last post, I am only prompted with a duration. E.g. if I want 30 days I have to type in 30 and select “minutes” and change to “days”. Can this be updated to work like auto-closing?
