Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Your calendar is set up to accept bookings of a fixed duration, and that one duration applies to anyone booking you. It would be nice to give the user who is booking you an option to request a different duration. For example, if Melissa gives me her booking url to book her for an hour, but I only need a half hour, I'd like there to be some way that apmt.day handles that situation

Describe the solution you'd like
Good question! I'm not sure what it should look like.

Perhaps an input field like this, but label it "Propose a different duration" or the like:

On the booking confirmation page?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing fixed-duration booking flow and the booking confirmation page described in the issue. Decide how a requester’s proposed duration should be represented, presented to the calendar owner, and handled when it is accepted or rejected. Done means the behavior and user experience are specified before implementation begins.
