Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The appointment setting feature allows to set, for scheduled appointments, values for "Add time before and after the event". Those values are defined using two drop-down boxes that reach up to one hour each. This imposes a limitation when scheduling meetings that require commute or other longer pre/post-meeting blocking.

Describe the solution you'd like

I recommend making those two fields (time before and after the event) more flexible, to accept values longer than one hour.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Either more options can be given in the drop-down list, or an open value field of "Minutes" can be used instead of drop-down lists.

Research direction

Start by locating the appointment setting controls for “Add time before and after the event” and inspect how their current one-hour options are defined. Decide whether the controls should expose longer choices or accept minute values, then verify that values beyond one hour are saved and applied to scheduled appointments.
