Add an event to the day of calendar view

[JoaquimReis]

Hello

Can i add an event to the day it is in the calendar view?

Example: Open Calendar ... go to December 18, and click add and the event takes place that day?

Details:

I go to a day of my choice in the calendar view (default view day) and if I want to add an event on that day, when I do the ADD action it does not assume the day it is on.

Another question, is it possible in the calendar view (default view day) when clicking on the time to add an event and assume the desired day and time?

Example: Dec 18   ->   Add an event 2pm

There is no relation between what you see and the add button, unfortunately.

You may approach the calendar view as a simple display view.

This is possible. You will need to use an expression in the INITIAL VALUE field of the [time] column.

For example:

SWITCH(WEEKDAY([date])
  1,"01:00:00",
  2,"02:00:00",
  3,"03:00:00",
  "05:00:00"
)
