Description
The Custom Amount feature allows users to record a flexible fluid offered amount when completing fluid intake care notes. Instead of selecting only predefined values, users can now define a custom fluid amount using a slider input, providing more accurate and personalised fluid recording.

Helps ensure fluid monitoring reflects actual amounts offered and consumed.
Supports better hydration tracking and care monitoring.
Enhances documentation quality within fluid-related care notes.
Automatically aligns the maximum “Fluid Drunk” value with the selected “Fluid Offered” amount to improve data consistency.
