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 is unbelievable that recurring events are not supported. It's 2018, you can't just release something and after 2-3 years still be missinb *basic* functionality...

There are quite a few requests on SharePoint uservoice for this: https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/20472028-recurring-events
- Totally agree with Beau Cameron!
- TamarTKCopper ContributorIt'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? - ingeLLaCopper Contributor
Still no solution for this?
- mattchowellIron Contributor
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.

There's now an option to format a "modern" view as a calendar if that's what you mean. In the list view dropdown select create new view and choose calendar. Details here:

- Peter2wxinBrass ContributorThanks!

An SPFx web part may have recurring events feature, but not sure it has different filter views and it's more complex to deploy.
- Carole380Copper ContributorUservoice 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😞
- mikegil4Copper ContributorIt'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?

The workaround is to deploy a web part developed with SharePoint Framework
