Refresh Frequency Customisation - Make it easier

[Woojadad]

When setting the refresh frequency for a semantic model, I would like a dial or range entry fiels, as well as an interval selection field.  So example "Refresh between 6am and 6pm, @30 minute intervals.  Currently I have to manualy state every single refresh time stamp.

I believe this feature is not available in Power BI currently. You still have to manually enter each refresh time, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

As a workaround, you can use the Power BI REST API or Power Automate to set up and manage refresh schedules programmatically. This allows more flexibility and can reduce manual effort. though it still requires custom setup.

This would be a valuable enhancement and is worth submitting as a feature request on the Power BI Ideas portal.
