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 vi...
- 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
Is anyone surprised by yet another Microsoft GOTCHA!!!???
Like I always say: EACH AND EVERY TIME, EVERY SINGLE TIME I try and implement something new, use a new feature or create something the way we used to there's a wall, a gotcha. Ya you can do or use this only if it's a tuesday with a full moon otherwise you're sol.
This behavoir by msft has been going on for 20 some odd years and it's alwyas justified with oh we havent gotten around to it yet, please add it to the wishlist etc. etc.
Same thing for cascading drop downs (and don't say managed metadata because that is another set of issues all together), built-in filtering of lookups, built-in filtering of managed metadata fields used as lookups and on and on.
Seems all the fance, cutsy little connectors are designed, built and deployed within a week but the things we've been asking for for 20 years that we expect to be STANDARD, EVERYDAY WEB-BASED FUNCTIONALITY? Well, there's just not enough interest in the wwishlst. Hey, we need time and resources to build connectors for Trello etc. Pathetic.

Agreed. It's now 2023, and it is still not there. You can add columns to the events list, and even filter on the managed property you added, but you just cannot get this site columns to show in the Event Add form. I need it, and it should be such an easy fix....... @#^@^#%
