Team Calendars not showing name in iCal subscription

Valerie Klint

I have a calendar that in Team Calendar in Confluence the entries look like this:

But in Google Calendar it looks like this:

 

What I expect it to look like is this with the person's name who has been added to the "who". This is an example of a calendar event subscription from another calendar from the same instance of Confluence Team Calendars:

Hi Valerie,

Unfortunately that's a limitation with the way the iCal format works. In Confluence Team Calendars, we're able to have extra fields for each event. The names you see in Confluence come from the "Who" field, and the icon is coming from the event type. There aren't analogous fields in Google Calendar for calendar subscriptions (event types would just be separate calendars for example).

It's not a pretty workaround but I'd suggest putting the extra data you need right in the Summary field (assuming the calendar subscription is more important than clean presentation in Confluence).

Cheers,
Daniel
