Ability to show Stacked fields on Calendar

The calendar gets pretty limited when you try to include multiple dates and doesn't even show the title of the record. Example here... I'm trying to have "Due" and "Scheduled" dates on the same calendar and can't even read the titles.
I'd love a way to have the calendar item stack to multiple lines and choose which fields are displayed. Bonus: Being able to hover over that item and get another customized list of fields in a modal would be epic!

Add additional fields to display in Calendar Views (like Airtable)

I would like to choose additional fields to display in Calendar Views beyond just Event title. Airtable allows you to add any fields from the table and can even control simple formatting (bold, italic, underline).

Add ability to add a few more fields to the cards displayed on the right. Currently I see the Project name, but I would like to add two fields to help in scheduling, but there could be others that would be helpful to see at a glance without needing to open the record. Use cases include: location, Estimated hours or days of work, value of job, etc.

Thank you for posting, Dave Hyndman! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific fields would you like to add to the Calendar Views?
- How important is the ability to format fields (bold, italic, underline) in your workflow?
- Are there any specific use cases or scenarios where having additional fields displayed would be particularly beneficial?

Hi Jon Darbyshire.
The fields vary depending on the Calendar View in question, it's user and workflow.But the way Airtable does it is to allow
any
field in the Table to be displayed on the calendar item.A specific user case: I run a tour company. My Ops Manager would like to see, within the Calendar view, which Tour Guide and which Bus Driver are assigned to a particular tour. Yes, that info is available by clicking into item details.
Formatting these fields (and sorting their display order) are nice-to-haves, not need-to-haves.

Hiya Caleb Cook, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific fields would you like to be able to choose and display on the calendar items?
- How would you prioritize the importance of stacking fields versus the hover feature for your workflow?
- Are there any specific use cases or scenarios where this feature would be particularly beneficial?

I just went to set up my purchase order calendar, assuming this was a default feature. I am moving my tracker from Notion into SmartSuite and was really surprised I wasn't able to see pertinent information.
Jon Darbyshire and Avi Hercenberg, I noticed this isn't in 'planned' or 'in progress' so I wanted to ping you to see if this can be moved up the list. While I won't pretend to understand the complexity, it seems like a fairly straight-forward addition. Just like Grid, Card, and Kanban, it would be great to see the 'Fields to Display' option. In my use case, I would at the very least want to see the $ value. Below is a screenshot from our Notion calendar.

Hello Avi Hercenberg and Jon Darbyshire, are there any plans for this feature? This is really important for many use cases and seems to be kinda simple to implement.
