I’ve run into this limitation while experimenting with a calendar-driven discussion workflow on a student forum.
My use case is that each calendar event becomes the anchor for a discussion topic, rather than the event being the only thing in the topic.
For example, if I’m trying to schedule a meeting with someone, I might offer several possible time slots in the same discussion topic:
• Tue 31 Mar — 12–1pm
• Wed 1 Apr — 10–11am
• Fri 3 Apr — 3–4pm
Ideally I’d like to include multiple [event] blocks in the same topic so that:
• each proposed time appears on the site calendar
• participants can mark themselves as attending a specific slot
• once a time is chosen, the other events can simply be removed or edited
This becomes even more useful when the event topic doubles as a discussion thread before and after the event (agenda, notes, follow-up questions).
Another example from my forum is academic discussions where:
• a lecture
• an office hour
• and a revision session
might all be related to the same topic thread, but are still distinct events on the calendar.
At the moment the workflow tends to push people toward one event per topic, which fragments the discussion. Allowing multiple events per topic would make it easier to keep related conversations in one place while still benefiting from the calendar integration.
