Custom form in Group Calendar

[JO]

Hi.

We have a custom form connected to a shared calendar (Public Folder). The
form is published to the "Organizational Forms Library" and all is working
except...:

When creating a new entry in the calendar from a "group calendar" the
standard form i opened instead of the custom form. The group calendar are
stored on the public calendar.

Is it possible to get the custom form when creating a new entry in a group
calendar?

On the Properties dialog for the folder, you need to make the custom form the default form for that folder.

I have done this and it all works fine when I create a new entry directly in
the published calendar. It fails when doing so from the "Group Schedule".

Maybe I used the term "group calendar" when I was supposed to use the term
"Group Schedule" ("Actions menu" - "View Group Schedules", or click the
Schedules button).

Yes, "group calendar" and "group schedule" are two entirely different things. I know of no way to force the Group Schedule dialog to use a custom form to create a new appointment.
