Feature #10267

Show custom date fields in calendar

Description
It is powerful to be able to create a date field, and would be even more so if one could see these in the Calendar. I'm using this for a check-back date.

Any chance to get this feature for redmine >=3.4 ?
Thanks

A quick message to signal that such a feature would still be very relevant in 2024. Adding an "options" section to the calendar view allowing to select what date fields to consider, much like what fields are wanted as columns in the issue view, would be very useful.
However, I do understand that the main difficulty here is : how to display the information clearly on the calendar when there is both a start/end date AND some custom date fields ? Displaying only a start/end requires only a dot on the proper day. Displaying both a start and end dates requires a bar on multiple days/weeks. Displaying custom date fields could be limited to simple dots as an early version, without the need to compute any time range between standards and custom fields, which would require some considerable UX changes.
I recently initialized a new plugin for this purpose. It integrates the FullCalendar library to display multi-day issues on the calendar and supports new parameters to use custom fields instead of the default ones.
Here is the plugin : https://github.com/nanego/redmine_fullcalendar
