It would be really helpful to have the ability to add “placeholder” or “soft-block” appointments to the calendar.

For example, if I notice white space in a therapist’s diary, I’d like to be able to allocate that time to admin tasks, stock management, training, client follow-ups, etc., so the therapist knows how to use that time if it remains free.

However, these blocks should not prevent a client appointment from being booked into that slot. Client bookings should always take priority and automatically override or replace the placeholder.

Essentially, we need a way to visually allocate otherwise-unused diary time without marking the therapist as unavailable.
