Not sure if I report this as #Contribute > Bug or #Contribute > UX . Either way, I think this is a regression.

Upgraded this morning. Have noticed this in my Events today…

I create Standalone events. There is no need for people to indicate their attendance, and in the past “going” was not reported for this event type.

As shown here, “0 going” is shown today. I think this gives a negative impression; people planning to go might believe no one is going! Since it is impossible for people to indicate intentions, I believe “going” should not be reported at all.

It feels UX to me, but agree completely, alerting @jordan.vidrine he worked on redesigning this control, we should be able to handle this edge case easily.

Thanks for reporting.

As Sam said, this should be an easy change. Definitely an oversight on my end with the redesign.

Thank you for reporting this, I will work on getting this updated soon.

Here is the PR to address this issue. Once merged, “0 Going” should not appear on standalone events.

Thanks. I have upgraded and confirm the reported issue is addressed. However, a related issue persists…

If you click the `...` box, “Show participants” still exists and it leads to Event Participation. “Show participants” shouldn’t be an option.

Ah, that is a good catch. This only shows up for those who can act on the event, but I will make a PR to remove this from standalone events.

Just confirming `Show participants` appears for moderators and admin but not my regular users.

The latest PR should address this for even admins & moderators now.
