Longer edit period for posts

CyberGene

In the permissions, there are three possible values for how long one can edit their posts: until next reply, 10 minutes, indefinite. Some of my users need a bit longer interval, say 30 minutes but we all agree indefinite is too long 🙂 Is it possible to somehow use a different (custom) value?

You can actually provide a custom value through the REST API or by manually editing the setting value in the database.

If you go to the settings table and find the line for allow_post_editing, you can replace the value 10 of "10 minutes" choice with any positive integer. So you can set 30 for 30 minutes.
