By default, whenever you create a new Reservation Type, it gets linked to every existing Calendar record. Vice versa, whenever you create a new Calendar, every existing Reservation Type gets linked to it. If this behavior is not desired, you can disable the Reservation Type and/or Calendar trigger(s) as described here: Disable GoMeddo Triggers.

If Show Unlinked Reservation Types is TRUE, and a user click on a Reservation of a Type that is not linked to the calendar, the Type will be temporarily added to the list of available types.
