Customisation of Maximum Allowed Runtime

Currently there is a maximum run time of 30 minutes built into patchmypc-scriptrunner.exe.

There is additionally a default 120 minute maximum run time configured on the application's deployment type. This means that in 'short' maintenance windows (or when a maintenance window has less than 2 hours left), the application will not be installed.

It would be helpful to be able to customise the default value from 120 minutes. Ideally on a per app basis as different apps may need a different amount of time but initially a flat value for all applications would be more than sufficient.

    For apps already published, an update to the product should also configure it.

    In order to get this to update existing apps will I have to delete them all and let the service re-add them? Also when I click on the 'Set runtimes' again it seems to be display the default value and not the one I entered - not sure if this is just the interface or if something is updating in the background? Thanks

    Note: this would only set the time for creation/update of apps.
