planned
Ricardo Clerigo
Some users have requested the ability to create a task from a calendar event.
eg
- sometimes i need to create a task for the appointment [booking] as well as the appointment itself.

As it would be great if in the planner you could link an existing priority (task) to an existing appointment (even if created outside of clickup). i.e. appointments created by my clients that are actually part or in full a execution of a clickup task

We must be able to select which calendar the event gets saved to with this Ricardo Clerigo currently that button on events does not work.

Lesford “LJ” McKenzie: This is now possible - click the calendar icon on the bottom right of the card when creating an event

Ricardo Clerigo no it doesn’t work as I’d expect. I can’t select between my one account that has multiple calendars. The calendars are viewable from the button in the top right but you can’t select these when switching calendars or creating a new one
Ricardo Clerigo
Lesford “LJ” McKenzie: That's an unfortunate bug that made it to prod. It'll be fixed with the release this week (sometime Thu GMT).

Ricardo Clerigo your guys efforts are dearly noted.

It's surprising that a task/project management tool would not have "Add Task" on its calendar
Ricardo Clerigo
Yvonne @AskYvi: Surprise :-) It's now possible to add tasks to calendar. Give it a try.

Now we can create a Calendar events in the new calendar. Though when creating one, we cannot create also as a task and assign it to a list. So rather than making thing easier we now have to do twice the work, creating an Event, Creating a Task and then link them...
Is that time saving?
How is that better?

Daniel Hamuy: Hey Daniel, creating a task to "track" the event is definitely on the list of things we'll do soon.
As it stands, calendar saves you checking different tools to check your schedule. It also provides you with a much better experience for calendar than what you get in Google or Outlook. If you've ever been deep in a task writing a comment only to realize you missed joining your next meeting you'll know what I mean.
With time we'll evolve calendar into a planner tool that brings the best of your schedule of events and your tasks together.

Now that is nice that we have Events, it would be nice, that when we are creating an new event by clicking in the calendar, to be able to create a task and assign it to a List. We use this to keep track of our meetings for each Client.
It should behave similar to when we are creating a new Time Tracking, where you can assign it to a task or create a NEW one and assign it to a list.

SENSE DESIGN-MARINA: For sure - creating a task to "track" the event is definitely on the list of things we'll do soon
