      Problem Definition

      Text Limit for event details displayed in calendar view is not standardized

      When adding events for Travel, Leave and Birthdays type, the required fields to tell other users about what is happening in this event will be Summary:

      However, when adding events for Events and Custom Event type, there is no Summary fiend, but it has What field instead:

      When they are lined up together in the calendar view, they seem to serve the same purpose but the Summary fields only have a text limit of 30 characters and anything after the 30th characters will be displayed as 3 dots like below:

      Suggested Solution

      Standardize the limit of text that should be displayed in the calendar view and possibly allow admins to change the limit to fit different use case.

      Note

      Currently, the What field that is shown in the calendar view has no text limit so this could be a potential problem for a very long text entered in the What field as well:
