Description

A point a first time user (like me) would have helped a lot to set up the very first custom alert:
**show more units**and **hints** for **format** and **type** of input needed **on all places** where to input anything
- number: 3,000.5? 3000.5? 3000,5? 3000,500?
- duration: seconds? minutes? hours?
- time: hh:mm? hh:mm:ss?
- date: dd.mm.yyyy? dd.mm.yy? mm.dd.yyyy?

simple example for type problem:

It's alreay done ok for input of %

Research direction

Start by inspecting the CustomAlerts plugin's input screens, using the existing percent-input example and the screenshots as the reference for the requested help. Identify every place where numbers, durations, times, dates, or text are entered, then define the accepted formats and visible hints for each; done means first-time users can tell what format and unit to enter.
