I'm not sure. Parent / child may be confusing, but commonly used in the technical sense. We do say Parent Event and Child Event.Your call.I'm okay either way.

Left the house at 9:30. Took I-66 from Manassas to Front Royal Virginia to deliver a report. Collected $3,500 check. Pouring down rain when I headed to Waldorf Maryland for a recheck inspection. Raining so hard could barely see the hood of the car, so took back roads through Warrenton and Fredericksburg rather than the interstate to the Washington Beltway. Crossed the Potomac River at Dahlgren Naval Base. Crawled through a crawlspace in Waldorf. Then headed home by Route 5 (Branch Avenue). Hit the beltway at rush hour, so kept going and went through Washington DC (rather than around). Crossed the Anacostia River on Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge. Cut through city via S. Capitol St. Crossed the Potomac on I-395. Still didn't want to get on the Beltway, so took Duke St. through Alexandria into Fairfax. Picked up Braddock Rd and back to Rt. 28 and home by 7:30. Janice was just putting supper in the oven.

Glad you asked?

Admin gets warning when deleting main/parent event. Perhaps that warning should include "You are about to delete the main event and all sub-events. Are you sure? This cannot be undone."

When adding Event I get this instruction:

[Start Date and Time] and [End Date and Time] MUST be on the same day. If this event is a Multiple Day Event, you can add Additional Days and/or Child Events (sub-events) later. For now, we are only considering the first day of the event.

Good, but I'm getting same instruction on Edit page. It doesn't apply there.

Under Add Day/Child Event, I get:

You have 2 options:

Option 1. You have the option to add Child Events. Simply select the Number of Child Events below. The Child Events will be automatically generated. They will be copied from the Parent Event: same Title, Summary, Description, Details, Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time as the Parent Event. Later you can edit the Child Event(s).

Option 2. You have the option to add Additional Days. Simply select the Number of Additional Days below. The additional days will be automatically generated. They will be copied from the pareny event: same Title, Summary, Description, Details, Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time as the Parent Event. Later you can edit the Additional Days: required in order to change Start Date and Time, and End Date and Time such that they exist on different days than the Parent Event (first day).

* Event Fees, Event Emails, Event Attendees are managed via Parent Event. People signup via Parent Event which includes Child Events and/or all days for the Parent Event. All inclusive.

Which option will you be applying:


Note spelling error on second line of Option 2: "pareny"

Seems like this would be a good time to select future dates. I have seen Admins get confused by this, not understanding which day they are editing. Rather than cloning a bunch of identical Days, how about choosing dates and creating almost identical Day, but with correct Dates? I think this will avoid a lot of confusion.
