Hi Eric, Thank you for your help.

I created a form on the second tab of an appointment to enter that...

The scenario is quite simple: There is a new mandatory training that everyone needs to take. There are multiple sessions available. User will receive ONE meeting request, and they will be able to select and change the session. Each session may have a maximum capacity. It kind of doesn't make sense for a meeting request to have multiple date/time/location, but they don't want to...
