Or we could have it handle time the way most applications do, by using a day box, an hour box, and a minute box with number inputs, that way we can have infinite time combinations (the drop-down menu is quite possibly the worst UI feature to have for a time length)

Not a programmer
Your example is a bit like saying "Shouldn't it be easy to turn my car stereo on every time the heated seats are on? We already have a light on the dashboard for heated seats, and the stereo has an on/off button - can't we just connect them together".

I am a programmer:

Unfortunately, webdip's adjudicator was not written with forced options in mind. The part of the code that determines what options you have is totally unrelated to the part of the code that moves turns forward. It knows about "no orders" and "some orders" - but extending it to know about "each order has only one valid entry" would be a fairly major rewrite.
Could the code that enumerates options enter forced moves automatically?

I am somewhat familiar with the codebase as I have been developing a rewrite for some years. It is tedious af to work with the old codebase so even if it was possible (which I think it is) I wouldn't want to add it because there are no tests for this.
