Link directly to first date service is available on bookings page
We would like, either through link manipulation or through an option for the booking/service page, the ability to move the calendar date ahead to select the first date a service is available.
When we send a link to the booking page out to our folks to have them sign up for sessions, if the session is "next month" they have to click to move to the next month and then select the day(s) of the session. Would it be possible to have the calendar auto-select the first date the service is available? We have folks that get confused when they click the link and do not see anything available. They don't realize they need to click on the appropriate date, especially if it's a month ahead and not even on the screen.

Pre-selection of the next available offer date is a much-needed and silly missing feature from a user experience point of view. We have been experiencing an extremely high number of complaints due to this unfriendly approach to showing the available dates. There are considerations to move out of this system for a much better user-friendly experience. There is very little customization possible on this M365 booking system.
Similar concerns were raised by many users in the community and it didn't seem to get the needed attention by Microsoft Booking System developers. Please could you get this fixed asap.
