Add to Calendar no longer includes topic URL in the description

[nathank (Nathan Kershaw)]

I just added this awesome looking webinar to my Google calendar using the inbuilt functionality.

I love the slick new UI. However, there seems to be a regression in that a link to the Event Topic is no longer included in the description. This was added 2 years ago:

Include link and description when adding to google calendar and ical

The interface for adding an event to the calendar has a space for a URL–and it shows up very nicely in the display in Discourse, but when a user saves the event to their own calendar (via the three dots on the top right of the event), no URL is included. Similarly, it seems that there ought to be a way to include a brief description of the event that would be exported to the user’s calendar. I know I can add more description in the post, but the user would have to go back to Discourse to see it…

This is what I get now (note that the description is blank):

If this wasn’t a deliberate decision, could that please be added back in? It is super useful to have a path from the user’s email calendar back to the relevant Topic.

(yes, I am considering going to the Webinar at 5am my time. Early riser )

Sure, I don’t think it was deliberate – will add it back.

Will be fixed in this:
