Unable to specify destination calendar for events

See also Using multiple calendars - Unable to assign events to a calendar

I’m completely stumped. I see no way to specify which calendar an event belongs to. I don’t typically use the web UI for adding events (typically Thunderbird, which is also having issues - can only add to one calendar.) Please see below:

What am I missing?

it should show above the date selection. are the calendars on the left actual calendars or subscriptions of .ics URLs?

I know for certain Personal and Health are full calendars as I’ve been adding to them for years. I.T may be its own calendar as well, I hardly use it though. I think the contact birthday calendar is autogenerated, and the Google Shared calendar is imported.

If you have two or more writeable calendars the selection should show. This smells like a bug. Please report it at Issues · nextcloud/calendar · GitHub.

Hi Christoph, thank you for engaging and sending me in the right direction!

For anyone coming across this, I believe the issue may be that I created a task list instead of a calendar. Even though these appear as calendars, you’ll be unable to add any events to them. I think I may at least open a bug report to see if we can convert task lists into calendars.

To elaborate, make sure your calendar is created from the Calendar app and not the Tasks or Deck apps, and use the “New calendar with task list” option if you want to have a task list for that calendar as well.
