Change Appointment End Date to match Start date automatically

Today when scheduling an appointment, if the start date is entered and it's not today's date, the end date/time for the appointment doesn't update. If staff don't catch it then an error appears telling them the end date must come after the start date. It's also more efficient to have the date autofill since appointments always start and end on the same day.

    Change a single appointment, meeting, or event you created. Follow this steps-

    1. Open the appointment, event, or meeting from your calendar.

    2. Edit the item details on the Appointment or Meeting tab. When you're done, click Save & Close for an appointment or event or Send Update for a meeting you created.

    3. When changing a meeting you've created, you must send an update in order to save the changes. If you're adding additional attendees to the meeting and making no other changes, you can choose whether to send the update to all attendees or just the added attendees.

    Change a recurring appointment, meeting, or event you created. Follow this steps-

    1. When you open a recurring appointment, meeting, or event, Outlook will ask you if you want to open just this one event or the entire series of events.

    2. You can open one item in a series or the entire series.

    3. If you'd like to edit a single instance of a recurring item, select Just this one. Otherwise, select The entire series. You can make changes to the appointment, event, or meeting details, recurrence patterns, and attendees. When you're done, select Save & Close for appointments and events or Send Update for meetings.

    Some limitations when editing one instance of a recurring item:

    • You cannot change the date and time of a recurring item if doing so skips over an earlier or later instance of the item. For example, if you have a meeting that occurs every Friday and occurs on 4/5/19, 4/12/19, and 4/19/19, you can't change the 4/12/19 instance to 4/4/19 or 4/24/19 because it skips over another instance of the same appointment or meeting.

    • If you remove an attendee from one instance of a recurring meeting, that attendee will still be invited to the other instances of the recurring meeting.
