Question

Can Bookings with me force the user to provide information on why the booking was made?

Pete Stockley 10

I have a personal bookings page (aka Bookings with me) for Consultation / Support 25 minutes.

When people make the booking, they rarely tell why the booking is being made, so that I can prepare properly.

In the description field I have written "Add the reason for meeting to the Notes -textbox!" but people still do not.

Can I make the Notes -textbox a mandatory field before submitting the booking?

Is there another option to force people to provide information on what topic the booking is for? I don't want to use the full bookings experience with custom questions. That feels like using a bulldozer to put a nail in a wall. :)

No solution found yet. I’m hoping that the MS Bookings developers will see this and implement the possibility to add mandatory field.

I think that hoping is not enough. I doubt that MS developers read these...
