milkShiftDate milkURLScheme

Hello, question regarding missing data scheme in the milking-visits POST endpoint to indicate a milking shift. Many dairies have a milking shift that crosses 12am and in this example "milkingStartingDateTime": "2024-03-15T05:40:28.000Z" converted to the dairy's timezone is Mar 15, 2024, 12:40:29 AM. When this milking visits comes via the POST milking-visits endpoint: this is a real farms "milkingStartingDateTime", where does this milking belong in a herd mgmt software program if there is no shiftNumber being posted with the milking? Secondly, this real life milking visits was actually for Shift 3 2024-03-14. So we also need a way to tell the partner accepting the POST not only the shift but also the day the shift belongs to.
I'd like to start a discussion on adding additional data schemes in the POST milking-visits endpoint. I could explain better probably

"shiftNumber"
"milkShiftDate"

Just a snap shot of what the POST milking-visits endpoint looks like for VAS. When a partner posting this animal's milking visit to the VAS api, the VAS software would know that this animal's visit is for the dairy's 3rd milking (shift) for the date of 3.21.24.

    "member": [{
        "animal": {
            "identifier": {
                "id": 102634220,
                "scheme": "com.vas.animals.id"
            }
        },
        "milkingParlourUnit": 654,
        "milkShiftDate": "2023-03-21T06:00:00Z"
        "milkingStartingDateTime": "2024-03-22T07:11:01Z"
        "milkingShiftNumber": 3,
        "milkingBoxNumber": 2,
        "milkingDuration": {
            "value": 200,
            "unitCode": "Sec"
        },
        "milkingType": "Manual",
        "milkingMilkWeight": {
            "value": 23,
            "unitCode": "Kgm"

With the extra information provided by the posting party, VAS would know where this visit belongs in this screenshot of the herd management program for the dairy or milk organization to see.
