Description

The spf13/pflag library is being used to parse options for the /mscalendar createevent slash command. The parsing does not currently support values that include spaces which are needed for flags such as --subject and --body

This ticket is a request to implement those methods which allow parsing values with spaces.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current argument parsing in the '/mscalendar createevent' command using spf13/pflag. Identify where values with spaces fail and implement custom parsing logic or use built in pflag features like `pflag.FlagSet.StringSliceVar` with quoted strings.
