Quite often the pull down durations menu for appointments doesn't have a selection I can use, so I have to do the math to come up with an end time that matches my required duration.
It would be helpful if there was the additional ability to enter a custom duration. That could be done as either a text entry (hours:minutes), or a visual slide time scale, etc. However, I would not replace the existing pull down durations menu.

Re: Appointments: Custom Duration Entry
Thanks for the suggestion. I think we could probably save couple of last duration periods in the list in addition to the default values. Would that solve the case?

Re: Appointments: Custom Duration Entry
That is an interesting approach to my suggestion. I would say any "last duration periods" saved would exclude those that are default values in the list, to prevent duplication. I would suggest saving up to six custom last durations. I usually encounter durations like "1.5", "2.5" and "3.5" hours - these half hour type durations are the most common I encounter.

Got it, thanks, that's likely the approach we're going to follow
