Modern Page Events Web Part missing reoccurring events

Hello,

 

I've added Events Web Part to a Modern Page to list all the upcoming events. However, it is not listing any of the reoccurring events specified in the calendar.

 

I am not sure, if I am doing something wrong or if there is a bug with the web part. Is anyone else experience similar issue? Does anyone know of a workaround?

 

Thank you for the help in advance.

  • Unfortunately, there isn't any support for recurring events in the modern web part. Hard to say if it's a bug or intended functionality. This is because the Modern UI for adding an event doesn't allow for recurring events. Only when you go to the SharePoint list, can you configure it that way.

    It's been 5 YEARS. How has this issue not been resolved yet? It's still a highly requested feature. And the Event web part only really makes sense if it displays all events. I will not start creating recurring events manually each year.

    Any updates?

      TamarTK None really.
      I recall them claiming that they are not working on the events functionality in SharePoint anymore.
      (sorry don't have a source on that)

       

      So don't keep your hopes up 😞

      ingeLLa I guess not - this is a typical example of Msft's approach to "modern" which is purely a superficial reskinning of the same ancient functionality. That's fine but at the very least the functionality has to be equal to what went before. It's unconscionable that Msft can't figure out how to adapt the events web part to show recurring events.

    Uservoice is gone. How do we add this to the roadmap? I saw documentation that a group calendar would resolve this; that app is not available to me.

      I think Microsoft just doesn't want to bother with this.
      They keep saying to use a groupcalendar, but if you want this on a communicationsite that has no groupcalender, that is not alternative at all 

       

      😞

        It's a bit crazy-making. Our organization has a few thousand communication sites, many of which want to show events. Many of the events are recurring (e.g., weekly "office hours" meetings around a topic, quarterly Town Hall meetings, etc.). How has this not been made a priority?
