Change Calendar Event Title

Change Calendar Event Title

When adding an attendance session and creating a calendar event with it, the title of the event that shows up is simply "Attendance." This transfers to Google calendar export as well. Can this event title be changed? It becomes difficult and confusing when you are enrolled in multiple courses and calendar only shows "Attendance." Yes, when you click the event, all information shows.

I've tried changing the Name of the attendance in setting, but still it only shows 'Attendance.'

You might find it is a language setting, in which case you could change it that way...maybe do a search in the language strings and see if one references the event title.

I believe the event is given the name of the activity itself, and by default, the name "Attendance" is filled in automatically when you create a new Attendance activity. If you change it to e.g. "Company Law", then when sessions are created, they will use that name instead. Unfortunately, calling the attendance activity by the course name is not very useful. You could consider giving the new activity the course name first, then creating all the sessions so that the events have a sensible name, and then renaming the activity to "Attendance".
