Date conflict using Event Picker

[alanestevao]

Is there a way to prevent users from selecting the same date and time slot on the Event Picker component? Currently, it is possible to create several events at the same time.

I think this should be a basic function.

That would definitely be a nice basic function, but when you take into account timezones and overlapped durations it would certainly be super tricky.

So, the answer is you have to have a workaround, likely using a custom form.

How do I create a custom form?

I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using User Specific Columns and Relations Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…

The event picker will write to two user-specific columns the start time and end time. You would then have to use some further logic to determine whether they “overlap” with any of your existing bookings.
