Team's Response

Hi there!

Thank you for reporting this issue and providing detailed steps to reproduce it. We understand your concern about scheduling appointments that span from 2300 (11 PM) to 2400 (12 AM).

However, we’d like to clarify that the current system does not support appointments exceeding a single day, such as the 2300 to 2400 scenario, because 2400 is not a valid time format (it should be 0000 for midnight (i.e. the next day)). The software is designed to handle appointments within a single day, and attempts to schedule across days result in an error message.

This functionality was not included in the current implementation due to the complexity and effort required to support appointments that span more than one day. Based on the likelihood of such scenarios occurring, we decided that it would be more efficient to focus on handling appointments within a single day for the current iteration.

While we recognize the value of this enhancement, it falls outside the scope of the current version. We will consider supporting multi-day appointments in future updates as we continue to refine the system.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your valuable feedback!
