Move event between calendars
Firstly, thanks for your work. Please, could you add support to move events between calendars. Thanks again.
Maybe it is possible to copy all data, create a new appointment and delete the old one. Such a feature is really much needed and known from outer apps like business calendar.
It happens relatively often for me that I create an event in the wrong calendar, so I really miss the feature to shift and/or duplicate an event into another calendar...
FWIW, as a workaround, you can:
- Export the event (by clicking the memory-card shaped icon)
- Browse to the exported file, and import the event into the appropriate calendar.
- Delete the old event.
I would be happy to use such a feature as well. It's very exhausting to change to my computer and change the calendar in Thunderbird.
As a way to go: Maybe it's possible to use the header which is used for creating an event also for editing an event.
Please stop adding unrelated comments. This is a bug tracker not a mailing list. If someone steps up to implement it, we would be all happy :).

Sometimes i create an event in the wrong calendar and would like to fix it without deleting the event and recreating it.
All the app needs to do in this case is copy the event and create it in the new calendae and after that, delete the event in the old calendar.
This would really be a useful feature, but how would we implement it from a user point of view? I can think of two options:
- The google calendar app lets you copy an event by using the context menu. A move feature can be implemented the same way.
- Edit the event and select a different calendar, then save.
Personally I think option 2 is the most intuitive, but I don't know what would be easier to implement.
I agree, option 2) seems to be the most intuitive way, edit the event, tap on the colored box with the information, where the event is stored, and present the same drop-down as in the create event view.
This way is used by the Simple Calendar (https://www.simplemobiletools.com/calendar/), which I use just for moving entries ;-).

The way Simple Calendar went with it is definitely the most elegant way. Simple Calendar is open source so isn't it possible to simply check their code and implement it?
Once again I'm having user error that I hope software can fix. I added an event; saved; exported. Then realised it was on the wrong calendar. So, (as usual) I launch Thunderbird on my desktop; edit the event & change it to the correct calendar. (Then save and synchronise.) The correction happens back in Etar once DAVx5 has done its magic.
So I know that moving the event between calendars is possible with Lightening.
Is anyone working on this currently? Could it be published unfinished as a draft PR? Thanks!
We now have an open pull request that enables the desired function. It would help us if many could test this in advance.
A workaround I'm using is to duplicate the event which allows the duplicate to get a different calendar assigned. All that's needed then is to delete the original.
I know this one is older, but it is a duplicate of issue https://github.com/Etar-Group/Etar-Calendar/issues/101 which has a merge request to fix this. So I propose to close this as duplicate of #101.
