Currently, we enter recurring calendar events -- like a two-month art exhibit or a weekly seasonal farmers market -- as a recurring calendar event. However, these instances do not drop off the calendar until after the entire exhibit or market has been completed. Meaning when users come to our calendar, it looks like it's very out of date. Could recurring calendar items drop off automatically after that date passes? It is very inconvenient to add 60 individual events for a two-month exhibit. Thank you!

Hello friends,
We're happy to say that now your recurring events get expired automatically! 🎉
Since this Wishlist portal has moved to our community forum, find more details and leave your feedback here.
Cheers!

Hi Joe, and thanks a lot for your suggestion!
It seems Erin has an event only, let's say, once a week during two months, that's why he needs it to be recurring for this period. Otherwise, he'd have to update it manually each time.
However, maybe this solution would still work for you, @Erin?

You can solve this problem by not using recurring events. Instead you enter these events with a start date of day 1 and an end date of (say) day 20. You get one event item showing the full 20 day date range.

Hello Erin,
Thanks for adding your idea!
I see your use case, and I agree that it would be much more convenient to have past recurring events hidden. We'll try our best to think this option through and consider it for our future updates.
Thanks for your help!
