Unconfirmed bookings don't block slots of other event types

[DedicatedCPA]

The setting "Unconfirmed bookings still block calendar slots." only blocks slots from the same event type but not from other event types. This is a bug. No matter what event type, unconfirmed bookings should be treated as busy time when this setting is enabled.

CAL-6248 Buffer / unapproved appointments should affect availability - Other event types

[bandhan-majumder]

It's a feature request I think. But logically we should not mark it as busy if it's still unapproved. WDYT @anikdhabal , can you approve it to start working on?

[bandhan-majumder]

hey @CarinaWolli . I am in a doubt if we need this or not. Can you please confirm once? Will make the changes accordingly then

[CarinaWolli]

The same principle applies to unapproved appointments: they should block off time on the calendar regardless of the event type. Otherwise, reserving time for a specific event type becomes ineffective.

@DedicatedCPA is this about event types that require confimation? Because we have a setting for that to bock calendar slots for unapproved appointments. By default this is disabled

[CarinaWolli]

When an event includes a buffer, that buffer must occupy space on the calendar

The availability should already be blocked with the buffer. @DedicatedCPA Can you give an example setup how I can reproduce that?

[DedicatedCPA]

Sure, this is for all event types. Let's say for example I am scheduling event A that is an appointment for 30 minutes with a 30 minute buffer. If I go to try to schedule event B, that is an appointment for 15 minutes with a 15 minute buffer, cal.com will allow me to schedule it over the 30 minute offer of meeting A. This is because event B does not recognize that there is a buffer for event A on our calendar and allows for an override. I tried to take a video, but it seems like inadvertently with the previous update that was made this bug may have been fixed. I have not been able to replicate this issue just now when trying to schedule filings. The only issue that persists is with appointments that need to be approved, if an appointment is taking up space waiting to be approved the buffer / the appointment don't show as busy or unavailable and it causes us to schedule on top of those slots.

Enabling the setting "Unconfirmed bookings still block calendar slots" should solve this for you

[DedicatedCPA]

that only works for events of the same type, not if I try to schedule an event of a different type while one has not yet been approved

[CarinaWolli]

I just tested this and that's a bug. It should work across different event types. I'll update the title and description of this issue
