Sharepoint Modern events webpart - Where are my custom fields?
Hello, we have recently started adding modern pages to one of our classic team sites. We have a change control calendar with many custom fields tied to an approval workflow process. When we try to visualize this with the Events Webpart we do not receive the custom fields in the add new event page. Will we ever be able to see these or should we expect to have fall back to classic calendar pages for the unforeseen future?
- Yeah, this is a limitation in the new Events WebPart: it's not going to show any custom field you add in your events list
Hi Robert. You said in 2018 that this is in the Backlog for you all to work on. It has been 6 years with no fixes. Any update on where in the backlog this issue is currently sitting. Very frustrating that I found a thread with a ton of users that have the same issue as me from 6 years ago, with still no updates.
csmith535 You have me confused. I did not say that ever and do not work for microsoft.
Like everyone else, I concur that we need to see enhancements to see custom fields on event form and calendar. Hope you can add soon. Thank you
Also looking to do this. Frustrating as with each incarnation of SharePoint, the features for customisation seem to be more and more difficult to apply.

Hi Robert Woods and everyone else. I'll need to loop in our web parts lead ( John_Sanders ) who can best help decipher what might be happening with how the various web parts behave when using them on modern pages within classic sites.
In the mean time, did you consider moving the site into a full modern state? Or good reason to keep it classic?
Thanks, Mark
- mark,
Any updates to customize the Modern Events page so that we can include custom metadata columns when adding new or editing events?
Users liked the capability of Where (Location) field to display maps but it will be difficult to switch between Modern and Classic views just to specify additional columns.
Lastly, it would also be nice to add a custom command/link when displaying Event details and launch a Power Automate workflow.
I would like this ability as well. One of my customers would like to see custom fields in the event details. Any idea from MS when this would be possible?
I wanted to piggyback on this thread because having the ability to customize the layout of the Event would be extremely helpful. When using these modern pages, while they look awesome, I'm struggling with the limitations on the ability to customize a lot of the web parts.
Same here... Love the new look of events but it needs to include our custom fields.
I have the exact same requirement for my calendar. I would like to filter by another column aside from Category. Does anyone know if this feature will be available soon?
Thanks!- Yeah, this is a limitation in the new Events WebPart: it's not going to show any custom field you add in your events list
Can someone elaborate on this? Will this change in the near future? When you click on See All, the default is one month out from today, any way to change the default? See All is ALL of the events. And customizing what is being shown would be great.
Yes, would be great to be able to change the default view to All events and not just the upcoming month.
