Date Fields from Items Displaying Generically in the Global Calendar

We have many date fields that are inputted into various items within our apps, which show up on the global calendar, but they display on the global calendar as the name of the item, and does not contain any info about what the item field is about. For example, we track every Real Estate Flip in the Flips app, and one of the item fields is a date field where we add the closing date once the closing date is set. While the closing date does display on the global calendar on the correct date and time, it only displays as the name of the flip. I would really like for the actual field item (eg Closing Date) to display in the global calendar, and not just the generic name of the item. Is this possible?

  As far as I'm aware, the top field in your item will be what is displayed so what I do is to create a new calculation field as move it to the top of my fields and join the data from the fields below into a single line.

  @Name+" "+@Address+" "+@Date

  Would that fix it?

  Hey Lee! Thanks for the follow up. So, this would be a perfect answer if I only had one date field in my item, but let me explain further. So, for every flip, we have an offer appointment date, inspection date, rehab start and estimated finish date, and closing date. Each of these show up on the global calendar, but I can only see the top line of item, which you are correct in. I really just want to see what the field item name is for the corresponding date so I can know for each property when the inspection date is, when the closing date is, etc. Any ideas?

  You could try @name+" "+@all of Date and this should bring up the fields on the related apps.

  Is that what the problem is?

  It's just the "@all of" that will bring up the other relationship items

  So, if I use the @all of Date, then for every calendar entry in the global calendar, would I see every Date field (inspection date, closing date, etc.) on every single calendar entry?

  you can add them all into the calculation field- any fields in that item that don't have any data (i.e:- a date field,) will show up as null though- have a play around with it :)
