Playing with the calendar I found the tools for planning multiple occurences of an event very handy and helpful. The resulting events seem to be single records without any connection between them. I would like to suggest an enhancement to this:

In our quite elaborated CRM Tool this is similar but all multiple events created together seem to share some kind of unique ID. That way the System knows there are other related events when editing or deleting one of them. So each time one of these "related" events is edited or deleted upon committing that edit a dialog pops up and one is asked if the changes should be applied to all related or only to the one occurence currently edited.

Lets say there are 50 new events created and they have to be edited or deleted by some reason this is very handy. As this requires adding some kind of "relationship ID" field to the database I post this here for John who oversees the development and might comment on this idea.

I hear you Franz. We could have added a lot more here to help people manipulate repeating events-- and Todd Geist at http://www.geistinteractive.com -- has some come great mods along these lines, but we have to balance these things with keeping the software simple and easy to modify.

At least we do have the "ID" you're asking about, along with some scripts to help you use it.

All repeating events are joined by the field "SampleEvents::Repeating_id" and the script "Show Repetitions ( ID )" performs a find on this field thus bringing all the repetitions of an event into the found set.

More on this in the last few paragraphs here:
