Improvement for the booking calendar functionality
in progress

I’d like to request an improvement for the booking calendar functionality.
At the moment, we can only open our availability by selecting days (for example, Monday). However, when we select “Monday,” all Mondays automatically become available. This is quite inconvenient, because if there’s one Monday we’re not available, we need to disable all Mondays to prevent bookings for the following weeks.
It would be much more practical if we could set our availability per week, choosing specific days and custom time slots for each week. This is how most scheduling platforms (like Calendly) work allowing flexible availability instead of recurring day patterns.
Right now, it’s almost unworkable to keep days open, since there’s almost always a week where one of those days doesn’t fit. Especially because potential clients often book 2–3 weeks in advance, we need more control over our weekly schedule.
Would it be possible to add this functionality to the calendar setup?
Thanks in advance for looking into this it would really make planning much more manageable.

I dont know if I'm missing something here but I don't see anyone talking about the lack of ability to have appointments check availability from other calendars (eg. google calendar). Every appointment booking tool I've used (free or otherwise) has the ability to check availability across multiple calendars.
Myself and my staff all have multiple calendars and any appointment booking link should simply be able to show availability based on whats free across the selected calendars.

It would also be nice if you did not have to set calendars by appointment, but rather by the person. If one person is handling two or three appointment types, they would have to allocate their time out to each type, or they would have to leave their whole calendar open an all of them, then block it out whenever an appointment is booked, and hope it from the other appointment types in time.
If someone books a person in one appointment type, it should remove that slot from all the other appointment types.
You could also put a limit on each type of appointment.
