The benefit of making the default remain the "-unspecified-" but not allow
it to be submitted is that it forces the user to actually think what the
appointment type is. I would imagine if the default were "meeting" you'd
have some people leaving the default when it should be something else.
Plus I believe I saw a bug if you remove the "none" then the show "all
types" on the scheduler disappears? Maybe that's been fixed. But I
definitely would want to leave the "all types" on the scheduler view.
Thanks,
Jeff
