Would like to dit the month name to reflect “Dec 2022” instead of “December 2022”. Or to remove the dropdown button for types of views. Would like the arrow buttons to not jump around as users scroll through the months.

~~Use the “format date” column.~~

Example:

Nevermind…didn’t realize you were talking about the calendar component.

Thanks Robert. Yes… I’m referring to the month name on the component.
