Hi,
Recurring events are individual events, however when you create one it does not create individual topics.
So if you click on 1 of those recurring event to participate to it then your participation is present on all the events.
Shouldn’t creating a recurring event create individual events/topics with the same base as the first event?
This is very much a feature request. I hear you, would be nice if you could pick a particular event in a sequence.
Any joy with this?
We really do need a new Topic to be created for each event, rather than a single event Topic controlling a whole bunch of events visible in the calendar.
At the moment the only feasible workaround is to manually make a bunch of new Topics. This of course fills up the Latest feed in a most annoying fashion (which needs mitigation somehow), as well as requiring that you are careful not to over-notify. I guess that highlights some of the challenges in bringing this feature to life.
would it be acceptable if secondary events in a topic had a different appearence such as outline, via eventBorderColor and eventBackgroundColor
You simulate layering by combining:
| Property | Primary (confirmed) | Tentative / secondary |
|---|---|---|
| eventBackgroundColor | solid | transparent / light |
| eventBorderColor | same as fill | strong contrast |
| border style | solid | dashed |
| opacity | 1 | 1 |
This creates a visual hierarchy without needing actual stacking.
