I was surprised to see that this feature was not already in this module. If the user has JavaScript turned off, nothing is shown in the field. I think it should at least show the end date (using a configurable date format, of course).

The usual method of accomplishing this, as I understand it, would be to fill the rendered

with the date field in php (wherever it is rendered now in the code). Then, if JavaScript is enabled, the actual jQuery countdown timer would replace the initial value of that
the first time it renders the timer.

I set this request to "major" because, without this feature, I am not able to use the module. I've tried several work-arounds - both in views, and in my custom module - to populate that

on my own, but somehow what I put in always gets blanked out somewhere along the way.
