Feature or improvement you want

Following recent app updates, the display timeout value is now a drop-down list with predefined values such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. that prevent users from choosing less than 1 minute but also any arbitrary value they want. Previously this value was manual input, using seconds allowing for precise timeout configuration.

Preset values can be convenient, and they could remain as long as there is an option to enter a 'manual' value in seconds as the app previously allowed.

Why should this be added?

The recent change to remove precise/manual value entry makes the app less useful and prevents users from configure display timeout to a value less than 1 minute.

There is not 'display timeout' that I can find.

There is a Display > Advanced > Screen on for, which contains values between 15 seconds and 1 hour. Are we talking about the same setting?

There was a regression in one of the early 2.7. builds that was missing some of the time dropdowns, but it was solved, likely with #3538

The dropdowns are to try and align across all of the apps, but additional values may be able to be added if there's sufficient demand for 20 seconds instead of 15.
