Add or edit item in SharePoint calendar using mobile app
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the community, so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place, or posting a question that has been answered somewhere else. However, I'm hoping the answer to my question ...

Did you remover the fields from the list itself, on the List Settings page, or from the View that determines which columns and rows are displayed? If the latter, then the problem is with the mobile view that is being chosen on the phone.

Dean,
I've added new columns and removed unnecessary columns. Taking the Time Off calendar as the example, I created the calendar by selecting Settings, Add App, and then selecting calendar. I added my new Staff Member column (people/groups), but did not have an option to delete the Location column that I want to get rid of. So, I tried two things:
- I went to List Settings each of the three Views that were created during app creation, and unchecked the Display checkbox next to Location, which checking the Display checkbox next to Staff Member.
- Also in List Settings, under Content Types, I clicked Events (which is the content type that Location is in and also the content type I added Staff Member to), set Location to hidden, and Staff Member to required. I also changed the display order of the columns.
Step 2 above is the one that changed the columns that are used in the new event entry form/event editing form in the desktop version of the SharePoint site. But the event entry form/event editing form is unaltered from OOB defaults in the mobile app.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help.
