Location Field Missing from Event Form

Issue

The Location column is not visible in the event form, and you are unable to add it using the Edit Form option.

Symptoms

  • The Location field does not appear on the event form.

  • The Location column is not available when attempting to customize the form via Edit Form.

  • Adding the column manually is not possible.

Cause

This issue occurs when the Update Location setting is enabled in the app’s Resources configuration. When this option is enabled, the system manages the Location field automatically, preventing it from being added or edited manually on the form.

Resolution

Disable the Update Location setting in the app configuration, then re‑add the Location column to the form.

Steps to Resolve

  1. Open the App Settings.

  2. Navigate to the Resources section.

  3. Check whether Update Location is enabled.

  4. If it is enabled:

    • Uncheck Update Location.

    • Save the settings.

  5. Return to the event form and open Edit Form.

  6. Add the Location column to the form as needed.

Expected Result

After disabling Update Location and saving the settings, the Location column becomes available and can be added to the event form without issue.

Additional Notes

  • If the Location column still does not appear after following these steps, refresh the page or reopen the app settings to ensure the change was applied successfully.

  • Re‑enabling Update Location in the future may again restrict manual control of the Location field.
