@Mark Up until yesterday, binding day/time pickers to user-specific columns was behaving in one of two ways: 1. The selected date/time values flickered within the pickers and didn’t show in the data editor. 2. They didn’t flicker, showed in the data editor, but the selected date/times disappeared after a couple of seconds. I experienced this with the event picker as well, similar to what was pointed out in the post. I didn’t catch the ONE flicker I saw today on video but can tell you the values **ARE** sticking - magic? This helps with moving some of the basic (first line of defense) validation to Glide. ---

Cool! Can this start and end time also be displayed in the calendar style layout on the events view? ---

> [@Mark](#): > > We fixed a bug with it today 😉 that qualifies as magic : - ) Last thing re: event picker: The option to set an action **other than** _View Details_ is there but doesn’t seem to do anything (they all act as View Details) – are there plans to change that? E.g. Action \> None makes values in event picker read only? ---

Oh, I see. Actually the Event Picker does not have a configurable action. It is supposed to show the corresponding UI for setting the event (day and time), just like the “Choice” component does not allow you to do other action besides showing the UI for picking an options among the list of options. Can you share to me how would you use it? Just for non-editable purposes? ---

@Antonio an option to have an “add to phone calendar” action would be great. Or set reminders

@Antonio Got it. One way I would use a read-only (action-none) is in confirmations of a scheduled event. I would use the event picker in its current incarnation (view details) to enable the user to schedule, then once scheduled I would hide the original picker and display a second version reflecting the originally selected start and end dates (configured through Events section). In this case the “X” to clear date/time would need to be hidden to avoid confusion. Separately, if not already mentioned in this thread, the ability to set MIN Event Start times and MAX Event Start times along with conditions (i.e. allow user to edit Event Start only, End only, or Both) makes the Event Picker a viable replacement for choice components (date/time options). đŸ‘‡đŸŒ ![picker](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/0e10d871b0ccbf79e9eaf19f6e1919059bf7593c.png) ---

@Antonio what about the Calendar Screen change like this Event Picker layout? ---

Yup! It’s on our roadmap for all the improvements we want to do over the Calendar/Dates as shown in here 😉 > [@new Event Picker](https://community.glideapps.com/t/event-picker/15965/61): > > @Manu.n @Robert_Petitto mmm, that’s a great idea! But by looking at out current calendar below, @Adrianne_Ngam and I, we both look pretty busy working on other important stuff ATM, so I’m not sure when we will be able to start working on a new version for the Calendar Layout view. We’ll keep you both posted though! wink ---

Cool! Feature request: Make event repeatable just like in google calendar for example “every monday” or “every tuesday, thursday and saturday”. ---

@Antonio Wasn’t able to find this here but my events are only showing a “Title” and NOT a “Description” no matter which values i change them to. Is there a way to work around this? @Robert_Petitto ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/0/0270a764c4e6d47bb20b58fc518693a1ebbf6f03.jpeg) ---

Hi All, Anyone know if the picker can be configured for display units as I need to have events set over multiple days. ---

When I open my event picker, it’s not showing the days I’ve already picked
