Description
It would be great, if the user could enable/disable the behaviour of cal in the FE cal content plugin, how to display events without an endtime. In the moment cal displays the endtime as the starttime plus 30 minutes and it is complex to change this behaviour via some typoscript workarounds.
So my suggestion is to implement a config switch in the cal content element configuration flex form like: "Display endtime when empty: " <yes/no>
Cal should use this setting to decide if the endtime is displayed or if endtime is hidden, when the endtime field is empty.

From my point of view: this feature is wrong. There is no such thing as an open end event in the iCalendar spec and we support the spec!
If someone wants this feature, it should be added as an addon extension (my 2 cents)

Then it would be consequent, that the endtime is mandatory when you create an event. In the moment it is optional... But with a view of usability (beside any specs) it will be used often in reality that an event has a starttime, but no endtime. So the spec doesn't cover this usecase, unfortunately. So let's change the spec? :-)
