Reinstate Calendar List View

[Neobium41]

In the old app the Calendar layout had the ability to change the default view to display as a list view. This was extremely useful because it allowed tasks to be grouped by day when viewed as a list.

With the new app, trying to do the same thing with a List layout and grouping by date doesn’t work when the date also includes the time because it creates a new group for every different date AND time.

Vote to reinstate the list view feature for Calendar layout. With many votes, it may get reinstated soon.

You could convert the Date and Time column to Date Only by using Format Date column.

Then use that to Group the list. You’ll almost get the same view like classic apps.

It is true that using Date Only would work however I also need the Time field for making appointments

You would still have your original date column with time for appointments. The additional column that was suggested would only be used for grouping.

After being forced to switch to the new version, I figured out a workaround:

Have a normal Date/Time column.
Use a experimental calculation column called Format Date.
Choose the Date/Time column as Date.
Format using the plugin’s index which you can find on google. I used dd MMM yy, EEE
On the layout, Use a Checklist
Group by the formatted date.
Sort by the Date/Time.

Be careful with Format Date. It doesn’t always work with all devices. In my opinion, I would prefer one of the following two methods to use for grouping.

• A math column that mathematically calculates YYYYMMDD.

Year(Date) * 10^4
+Month(Date) * 10^2
+Day(Date)

• Or, a math column that takes in a date (date for the formula and replace that with the date column value formatted without time). Followed by a template column to lock in the formatting without time.

Either method would allow you to group by date only and both are very stable across all devices.
