Hello,

I am trying to add multiple dates from a (modern) list in Sharepoint similar to overlays in the classic calendar view. From what I have read it doesn't seem like this is supported in the modern calendar view in Sharepoint. Are there any work arounds to accomplish this?

I am trying to pull in the following date sets for a rollup calendar

Regression Dates (Start and End) - Currently in Purple

Pre-Production Date - Currently in Orange

Approved Date (Start and End) - In green Release Calendar

    Hi @Gonzalez, Susana ,

    Welcome to Q&A forum!

    You are right that the modern calendar view in SharePoint Online does not support the same overlays as the classic view. However, there are a few workarounds for your reference:

    1. Create multiple calendar views: You can create a separate calendar view for each set of dates (e.g., regression dates, pre-production dates, approval dates) and color-code them accordingly. While this does not merge them into a single view, it allows you to easily switch between different views.
    2. Custom SPFx Web Part: If you are familiar with development, you can create a custom SharePoint Framework (SPFx) Web Part to display a calendar with events from multiple lists. This approach provides the most flexibility but requires development skills.
    3. Third-party solutions: There may be a third-party tool that can meet your needs. Hope these can help.

    Good day!
