Sharepoint List Calendar Overlay
I love the custom fields available on the new lists (not event lists)
I love that you can create a calendar view from the new list
How in the world do you overlay these calendar views? I've lost days of my life trying to track down what should be a simple feature.
Unfortunately you cannot create a calendar view in a custom list and overlay it on a Calendar. You can only overlay lists created using Events/Calendar list templates. Calendar view on a custom list just creates a Calendar UI but it is not an Events/Calendar list in the backend and cannot be treated as one.

Bharath Arja thank you for your answer! I think Microsoft really needs a calendar task force as their calendar functions and cross-compatibility across their products is abysmal.
zachciaburri I agree with Bharath Arja. You cannot use overlays in modern calendar views similar to old/classic calendar lists.
