Why is the Who field of the Confluence calendar Add Event form optional?

We use a team calendar to track folks' vacations.  Since the Who field of the Add Event form is optional, we often get entries that don't say who is on vacation.  Is there any reason why the event shouldn't always be associated with who entered it?  Is there some way to make this the default behavior?

We have a corporate instance running Confluence 6.6.1.

Thanks.

Some events are not specific to an individual. If the Leave event type is chosen to enter vacation time, the Who field is mandatory:

Okay thanks, found out our Admin had hidden the "Leave" event, because its meaning was not being universally understood by our multi-national Org. :-)

I am happy to hear your multi-national org is using Team Calendars!

Have a great weekend.
