Offset (start / end) + keep in sync flag on a resource booking

Sometimes you have an event where you want the resource to be booked longer/shorter than the session itself. With the current setup you can update the resource booking to match that requirement, but it's hard to keep track if you start to reschedule the session as the booking gets "out of sync" if you forget to update the resource as well.

Improvement:

• Have a flag on the resource booking that keeps the booking "in sync" with the session start and end date/time
• Be able to set an offset for the start and/or end date/time for a booking, eg: book this resource 00:30 before the start of the session (for preparations), book this resource 01:00 after the end of the session (for cleanup),...

  Wouter Walgraeve we are actively working on a feature to solve for the first item. When a session or event datetime is changed, any resource booking associated to that item will automatically change as well. In addition, we'll look at the existing pre and post offsets and apply the same offset to the changed resource booking. It won't be a flag as this will be the default behavior. The feature is in beta now, and I can turn it on for your staging instance if you'd like so you can give us feedback.

  The relative offset idea is a good one, and I'll take that to the team for consideration.

  The 'flag' idea could be useful for those cases where you want to book the resource for a whole day, but need to shift the event/session during the day based on feedback/input of the customer (so unflag it to keep resource booking timestamps fixed even when rescheduling the event).
