Modern Page Events Web Part missing reoccurring events
- 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.
There are quite a few requests on SharePoint uservoice for this: https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration/suggestions/20472028-recurring-events
Doesn't seem so hard to program. I don't even need the modern "new event" form to be able to add those recurring events (you can do this via outlook or classic edit). Just want the webpart to display those events
There's been an update recently - I can add recurring events to the events calendar, and they show up properly. The range and the actual next date shows up. If you have to edit it you do have to go to the calendar through site contents to get to the old classic page - you can't edit a recurring event through it's modern page.
Robin Nilssonthx for the info.
Not seeing that in my targeted release tenant nor GA tenant yet.
Kinda suprised about this as John Sanders, Program Management at Microsoft just declared that recurring events are not supported in the webpart.

oops. :) It looks like it was part of the event web part updated to allow roll-ups, etc. It's still not all there, and I know at times things appear and then disappear again.
Ah, I just double checked what I saw - you can't add a recurring event through the modern page either. But if you go to the actual event page - the classic one you land on if you go through site contents, you can do it there from the classic page. That's probably why the disconnect.It still acts like a standard SharePoint calendar event. There is one item for the recurring event. If you change one of the events, then a separate item is created.
