Hi, Juan 

Thanks for reaching out to us

Can you please try this?

In Amelia customise , if you use the New Form, you will find these options, and you can choose what will be mandatory :

Let me know if that solves the issue? Thank you

Hi, Juan 

Sorry for all the waiting time.

- I believe i can understand now, sorry i didn't realise right away what you need. It is different behaviour for Packages, you are correct.

I am still doing tests to determine if one of the solutions that you need is possible. So far i am not able to get a working solution to achieve this for Packages.

I am not 100% sure if we have a workaround at this time, but i will get some help from senior colleagues at our 2nd level.

As soon as they respond, i will advise you with further information.

Thank you for your patience.

Hi, Juan 

I got advice on this.

I am truly sorry to disappoint you, but with current Amelia's logic,   we are not able to provide any kind of a solution to achieve what you need.

At this time, we don't have a way to somehow "save" the selection of a customer from a Service > and then pass it as pre-selected  for Packages;

And we also don't have a way to make a Location mandatory choice for the Package;

at this time customers have to choose for every Package booking, "from the start", which employee they wish, and which Location.

We will do our best to come up with some solution in the future, though.

Hi, Sandor

Yes, the [ameliastepbooking employee=1]  should be working, absolutely.

- But i didn't try that with Packages yet.

This is quite interesting, to be honest.

At first it seemed to me it's not gonna work, but after another try, i am able to present Packages only from a specific employee.

if i add the employee to the shortcode, like this :

[ameliastepbooking show=packages employee=3]

-

What i did is a little test.  I made a new Package that is only provided by some other employee > and this one comes up along with other Packages, if i just use the standard Package Step shortcode ( this Boat Trip Package) :

[ameliastepbooking show=packages]

But now if i add the employee in the mix, with shortcode [ameliastepbooking show=packages employee=3]

then it only loads the Packages that this employee provides > 

and it also forces the customer to only select this employee, even though there are other providers for that Package Services.

For example, if i choose this  "Test Package" ( with Yoga  Test Service), with the employee in the shortcode,   customer doesn't have a choice for other employees :

But if i return to the regular "Package with all employees" shortcode;

then i got all the available employees :

-

As for your related page, https://wordpress-683164-2837135.cloudwaysapps.com/booking-page/  

i am able to see them both > and they load the available time slots for me :

-

Can you double-check, and show me how the shortcodes look for this page?

- And if you can check, if you're using the correct employee ID, of course?

Thank you

Hi, Sandor

You're welcome, i am happy to help.

No problem at all It is quite interesting for me personally, to be honest - 

since i didn't try this with the New Step Form, and it didn't occur to me that something like this might actually be sort of a workaround, for what we discussed before, to "force customer to stick with one employee" in a Package/service.

-

What i can confirm is that,  this is absolutely the current Amelia logic as you need for Packages, 

 if a customer picks an employee for the first appointment of a Package > Then Amelia will lock this employee's ID in the system  - so there is no way for a customer to come back later, and pick any other employee for the remaining appointments of that Package.

-

If the initial appointment selection is "Any employee" > then the rest of the appointments  in the Package will be "customer can choose anyone";

but if that first initial booking ( for one or more appointments) during the Package Purchase selects an employee > then for the remaining appointments it will stay locked on the same employee.

-

So, if we preselect the employee by adding employee=1 to the shortcode > you will achieve your goal - and the customer won't be able to pick anyone else anyway.

-

But, just for the more effective focus, and since we are kind of on the same subject as for the other ticket ( where the employee=1 shortcode has the error for those couple employees on specific Test site);

 i suggest that we "merge all the information" from here to the other ticket, and to proceed everything we discussed here on that one, as well - https://tmsplugins.ticksy.com/ticket/3113050/,

if you agree - of course.

Thank you

Hi, Sandor 

Sorry for this delayed response.

Thank you for understanding, agreed.

We will temporarily close this ticket - but of course, you can always come back to what we covered on it -

or you can simply open a new one.

Thank you very much.
