Show attribute LOCATION in calendar events

Hi, I’m creating a new topic for this question because I could not find the answer for this anywhere.

Is there a way of showing the location (maybe attendees as well) for calendar events?
I know the “atomic-calendar-revive” card from HACS can show this information, but I think it’s ugly and not customizable enough. I think the normal calendar card is pretty and functional if I could just click on an event and see WHERE it is happening.

In my googling I found a user requesting this change, but no one ever answered the poor guy and it seems to be that it’s not a difficult task to do.

Is there any way of customizing the popup that shows when clicking calendar events so I could add the location there myself?

I would really appreciate any insights on how to accomplish this.

I wonder why absolutely no one is interested in this :frowning:

Until now I barely used the calendar integration since it existed in HA. That changed today, when I configured the Web Untis integration for my son’s school timetable.

And guess what: I noticed right away, that the event popup is showing every attribute of an event, except the location. :thinking: It feels, as if this has simply been forgotton, as I can’t think of a reason, why someone explicitly wouldn’t want to see the location for a calendar event, when it is availabe.

Unfortunatly I don’t have a quick solution, but wanted to reply anyways, so you know, you are at least not alone. :grinning:

I wish I had a solution to this. It looks like the entity attribute Location is being retrieved from the google server, but isn’t being displayed on the standard Calendar tile.
I don’t know enough about how the tiles draw down their data to be able to set about fixing this (I know just enough about HA to be dangerous). I’m tempted to open an issue on the GitHub core but I’m worried it might be thought rather a distraction.

i had noticed this too… the attribute shows in the entity list but you cannot change it via the calendar… and i was going to use that for sporting event calendars myself… i supposed there could be a plethora of usages but it would be nice if they’re going to have it as a listed attribute be something editable via the calendar event itself

Same for me, I would like to display LOCATION and DESCRIPTION, taking into account the CRLF which can be included in both values.
