Calendar Event Description Layout
The default calendar event form provides limited space for the Description field, which can be inadequate when detailed information is required.
This constraint negatively impacts usability in scenarios involving long or complex descriptions.
To address this issue, this addon adjusts the layout of the calendar event form by placing the description field in its own page.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Moves the Description field of the calendar event form onto its own dedicated tab, giving users much more room to write long or detailed event descriptions.
This module changes the layout of the calendar event form so that the Description field is no longer squeezed into the main area of the form.
- A new tab called "Description" is added to the event form, placed just before the existing Invitations tab.
- Inside that tab, the description field spans the full width of the form and shows the hint "Add description" when empty.
- The original description field in the main part of the form is hidden, so the description appears only once, in its new tab.
- The field stays read-only for users who are not allowed to edit the event, so the same editing permissions as before still apply.
It only touches the calendar.event form view and does not add any new models, menus, buttons, reports, checks or automated actions. No business rules, computations or emails are introduced. The change is purely visual and applies wherever the standard calendar event form is used, such as when creating or editing a meeting or event.
