Is there a way to easily make a reservation from a leased IP address?
The MAC address is already there so I would thing it would be sensible
to have the option to just right-click on a particular lease and
choose reserve or something. Maybe I'm missing something and the
option exists somewhere else. If so can someone point me in the right
direction? Cheers

No.
You just create the reservation in the normal manual way.

That's not very practical then is it? Is there any reason you can
think of why it can't be done in a simpler way?

I always thought that would be a nice feature to have. Like a little "right
click", "make reservation from this lease".

Next best thing might be written up on this blog post though. Suggest having
a look,

It's all right if you have a large network with many reservations to
be done. However, it's too much hassle if you have big number of
unrelated networks with just a few devices that need reservation.
