Editing "This and Following" Appointments in Recurring Series

Editing "This and Following" Appointments in Recurring Series

Currently, when editing or moving an appointment in a recurring series, there is no option for the change to affect "This and Following" appointments. The options are currently the following:

"Return to Editing"

"Reschedule Appointment"

"Reschedule Series"

Choosing "Reschedule Series" unfortunately reschedules the entire series, including any appointments scheduled prior to the date of the appointment being edited. This can, of course, cause major problems in scheduling.

 

To remedy this, Square should add the option to affect "This and Following" appointments. This option is already available when canceling appointments, so it should be a very easy addition to provide this option when editing and moving appointments.

This is actually an option SOMETIMES. Depending on the appt I’m moving I’ll get the options to either “apply to this and following” or “this appt only”. Other times I’ll get “edit series”. It’s actually quite frustrating that it’s not consistent. 

Thanks for the response! Are you sure it happens when moving appointments? I've never seen it when moving or editing appointments, but the option is available when cancelling appointments.

I have the same issue. As a dog groomer, sometimes I or the client postpone an appointment to a later date. This disrupts their schedule of grooming every so many weeks. Yes, I can change a single appointment, but then their next appointment is too soon. I want to bump the whole future series out one week or whatever, but there is no way to do that. I'm thinking a workaround is to remove the "repeat" option then reschedule the next appointment as a new series.
