Customer needs to create business hours that start at 8pm on day 1 and continue to 2 am on day 2.  The current model of business hours only allows for one selection of hours with in a single day of the week.  There is not an option to span multiple days to account for the transition past midnight for a shift (business hours set).

Upvoting this because it’s a requirement for us too.

We found a workaround by shifting the time zone for the required number of hours: we needed 8pm to 2am, we managed to achieve this by setting a new time zone 2 hours behind us and shifting the business hours - 6pm to 0am. This does the job, and since agents have their own independent time zone settings, this shift did not affect anyone.

However, it may not be a suitable solution for everyone.

How come this is possible in Freshchat and Freshcaller but still not available for Freshdesk?
