    Hi, I’m currently using the Appointment Field in Jotform and I wanted to ask if there is a way to create manual/custom time slots instead of auto-generated intervals.

    Specifically, I would like each time slot to include additional information such as the pickup location (e.g., Forum, Costco, etc.), so users can clearly see both the time and the location when selecting a slot.

    Is this functionality available, or is there a recommended workaround?

    Hi Arturo,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

    Regarding your question about creating manual or custom time slots in the Appointment Field with additional information like pickup locations (e.g., Forum, Costco), this functionality is not directly available in the Appointment Field. The Appointment Field generates time slots automatically based on the interval settings and does not support adding custom labels or additional information per time slot.

    As a workaround, you could consider these options:

    • Add multiple Appointment Fields and use conditions to show or hide them based on user choices, though this won't allow custom labels per time slot.
    • Use other form elements like Dropdown or Single Choice fields where you can manually list time slots combined with location information for users to select.
    • Combine a Time field with a Dropdown or Single Choice field for locations to simulate the effect of custom time slots with additional info.

    This approach allows you to display both time and location clearly to users, although it requires manual setup rather than automatic time slot generation.

    Let us know if you want guidance on setting up these alternatives in your form.

    Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
