Good Evening All.I am trying to combine 3 different columns into the title for the calendar.-job_number
-client
-headingI have had a look at the documents and see that it is a row rendered item that i need to add.

can someone assist with what this should be?

What is “Calendar Title”? If you meant the page title (at the top of the page), it should not be based on a row (an event of the calendar report). Did you mean the event title for each events in the report? If so, you may use the Event_Adding server event.

Hello all.It is the event title.I have 3 fields in the database:
Heading,
Category,
Severity.I want all 3 items combined into the event title on the calendar view.

You may simply use Row_Inserting and/or Row_Updating server event that belongs to the Calendar Report, for example:

$rsnew["Title"] = $rsnew["Heading"] . " " . $rsnew["Category"] . " " . $rsnew["Severity"];

do you still use the $rsnew / $rsold in 2025

No, you may read Changes of Some Event Names and Argument Names.

In v2025, that code above will become:

$newRow["Title"] = $newRow["Heading"] . " " . $newRow["Category"] . " " . $newRow["Severity"];

Afternoon All.I have not been able to get this to work.my code is

// Row Updating event
function Row_Updating(array $oldRow, array &$newRow): ?bool
{
    // Enter your code here
    // To cancel, set return value to false
    // To skip for grid insert/update, set return value to null
    $newRow["Title"] = $newRow["client"] . " " . $newRow["tax_type"] . " " . $newRow["heading"];
    return true;
}

maybe i have had this wrong.I have a table that has:
-Client
-job
-headingi am creating a calendar report and want the “event name / Title” to be displayed as “client - Job - Heading”

You may post your code for Event_Adding server event for discussion.

Hi:

This is working form me in Event_Adding server event:

    $client= strip_tags($event["Client"]);
    $job= strip_tags($event["job"]);
    
   
    $event["title"] = $event["title"] . "\n" . $client. "\n" . $job;

“strip_tags” is needed to remove html tags, or “job” will be displayed as:

> "<span class="ew-option">job".

The only thing that doesn’t work is the line break, neither using ‘\n’ nor ‘<br>’.
Working on it
