Hi, I had a question regarding the calendar view. This is my current view, with start and end dates configured properly, each in separate columns.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/6/96dc06f56db7ea4ac5b458278bdc47f106af3564.png)

As soon as I drag an event to the next day, it automatically turns into 2 days, like so:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/7/57536100921c15260b990b91388c08e2618cb422.png)

Is this how the calendar’s supposed to function, or is this a bug? If so, is there any known workaround?

Not sure if that’s by design, I just tried that function for the first time now and find it very hard to actually change cross-day events on a month view.

You can turn it off and replace it with advanced actions.

Unfortunately I’m using advanced actions and the same still happens.

Previously, did you turn off the “Allow user edit items” button?

Yep, I did that too (just tried it again to make sure), and it still gives the same result.

Maybe this is a known bug @NoCodeAndy ?

Thanks!

I spun up a test app, and I’m not able to recreate the issue.

When I click and drag the calendar entry, it’s moving as expected.

Are you accidentally hitting the toggle/handle to expand the date range?

That might be the issue. For me, I just noticed the toggle/expander, and I can use it normally now.

Yes, to be honest, the interaction is still not comfortable. From the beginning, I have switched to using click items to open the edit form.

For me it might be a browser issue - I’m using Sidekick, a Chromium-based browser. I’ll need to download Chrome and test it there first to be sure.
