Crew Sharing Mechanic

It's been forever and a day since I actually led a squad, but I'm doing it for this upcoming event....
I know it was a long-standing problem that you couldn't set Shared Crew until the event actually started, which is really unreasonable for a variety of reasons.... but I could have sworn that we had gotten a QoL update that addressed some of the time zone issues, and that pre-setting Shared Crew was one of them (along with how Fleet Rewards are collected).
I'm not seeing any such option. I might have imagined it. If I did, I apologize for my ignorance.
But if I did, I also hereby propose that this is a really easy thing that DB should fix really soon so that squad leaders don't have to disrupt their work day or sleep schedules just to make sure things are fair for all. A simple 12 hour window to pre-set the shared crew is all it would take. There's no way for the Naughty Fleets to exploit something like that, is there?

As far as thinking such a thing already existed, you were indeed...
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

That said, I doubt if they currently have an easy way to set it without that crew prematurely becoming available to your squad. I'm not a savvy enough programmer to know what kind of changes that would take, though.
Have you posted this idea in "Make It So"?
Conceptually, they could add it to either the event splash screen or the squad screen, but both would be somwhat hokey.
