Issues with Calendar view and hidden data

Betts01

I have a calendar on my dashboard, and when primary entry for each row is selected it hides the data. I looked in the setting and I don't see a way to turn this interactivity off, any suggestions?

Also I can't seem to get a row of data to come back in full view. If I flip the view so primary is going horizontal across the top I can see the data, and it is still in the grid, but when primary is vertical on the left it has disappeared?

I am also getting a formatting issue, looks like a bug, where the week line is repeated twice and some info is partially hidden behind it, see screen grab.

When you configure your calendar to use the Primary Column for the display label, and that field is long or has formatting issues, Smartsheet might truncate or hide other fields in the card view.

• Go to the Calendar App configuration screen:
  1. Edit the Calendar view.
  2. In the "Display Settings" section, look for the “Primary Display Field.”
  3. Change the display field to another column (like "Project Name" or "Task Title") instead of the primary column.
• Avoid using the Primary column unless it contains short, clean titles.

Hi,

Thanks for your response but the primary column in this instance is a nice short title. Just a reference number XXX-NNNNNNN, therefore no title is longer than another.

Hi @Betts01!

Thanks @Naeem Ejaz for jumping in with that insight!

I’m not sure I fully follow the issue just yet, and based on the information provided, I tested a similar setup but wasn’t able to reproduce the behavior you’re describing.

To try and better understand what’s going on, it would help to take a look at your full setup, specifically your Calendar App settings and the source sheet. If you're comfortable doing so, feel free to share screenshots (just be sure to blur or hide any sensitive data).

Alternatively, if you'd prefer to troubleshoot this privately, I recommend reaching out to our Support team here: Smartsheet Support
Make sure to include as much detail as possible—screenshots, your calendar setup, and any recent changes.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Isaac.
