Description

Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Experiments have a "reset experiment" option which resets the start time:

However, it's not where users intuitively look when they want to reset the start time.

Describe the solution you'd like

Duplicate the reset experiment option as "reset start time" in the start time date range dropdown:

Image

This makes it more discoverable and easier to understand what "reset experiment" means.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Just use "reset experiment" which does that, but this is about improving UX

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the experiment start-time date-range dropdown and the existing “reset experiment” action, then trace how that action resets the start time. Done means the dropdown offers an equivalent “reset start time” option and the experiment UI verifies both actions behave consistently.
