Calendar View Displays Lookup Field Instead of Display Column / Row Title

[Antonio_Gil]

Hi all,

I’m having an issue where my Calendar view is displaying the wrong column as the event title. Here’s the setup:

Table Setup:

• I have a table called DB-Task.
• It contains:
  • Description → text field (this should be the event title)
  • Sub-01 → relation (lookup) to another table (Sub01)
  • CalendarTitle → formula column: =Description

Problem:

Despite setting CalendarTitle as the Display Column (via Card layout), the Calendar view continues to show values from Sub-01 (the lookup field) as the label on events — not the Description.

What I’ve Tried:

• Set CalendarTitle as the Display Column using Options → Layout → Cards.
• Created a fresh Calendar view from a new table view.
• Made CalendarTitle the only visible column in the Calendar view.
• Tried using a direct Description column instead of a formula.
• Tried setting it as the first visible column.
• Reloaded the doc and browser.
• Duplicated the Calendar view.
• Confirmed CalendarTitle has non-empty values.

Expected Result:

The calendar cards should display Description (or CalendarTitle) as the event label.

Actual Result:

The cards show the Sub-01 field (lookup), even though it’s not set as the display column.

Question:

• Is this expected behaviour when a lookup field exists?
• Is there any way to force the Calendar to show a specific text field?
• Or is this a known limitation/bug with Calendar views?

Any insight or workarounds would be much appreciated. Thank you!
