Calendar: Preserve time when creating events with double-click
versions/distribution: Evolution 3.36.4-0ubuntu1 Kubuntu 20.04
specific summary: calendar: allow creation of events in the past directly
Description: Doubleclicking on a date in the past (monthly/weekly view) to create a new event, switches the date in the editing window to the current date. You have to set it back manually. Fix: Add an option "support creation of events in the past" or make this behavior as default.
Expected behavvior: When double-clicking on a date to create a new event, the date field in the editing window shall be pre-filled with that date (not with today). This is ok for future dates but not for past dates.
Step by Step:
- open calendar module, monthly view
- double-click onto a date in the past (to create a new entry)
- PROBLEM: The pre-filled date is set to "today" (the current date)
- Expexted: The pre-filled date is set to the date what you have double-clicked
- you have to set two dates by hand (start and end) = inefficient
expected solutions
- if there is no usecase (preventing users to create dates in the past), just insert the selected date
- if this use case exist: add an option "support creation of dates in the past" to enable users like me to do that
