Auto Enter Calc for zulu_UUID in Events Table

I'm running into issues with publishing my events, only a small fraction of them appear in iCal. I've noticed that the only events that *do* appear are the ones that have a value in the zulu_UUID. I'm assuming that this gets populated during the "Publish Calendar" step. I have checked and rechecked my ZuluCalendarList record and experimented with filtering (which does seem to be working nicely) but can't figure out why events that satisfy my filter criteria aren't appearing on my calendar in iCal.

The documentation on this page:
http://www.seedcode.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.p ... ntegration

refers to an auto enter calculation for the zulu_UUID field. I've checked this field in your sample file and see that it's configured to Auto-enter data = "".

Is this correct? Is this auto enter setting even relevant to my issue?

Solution for missing events in iCal

Seems that I was missing data in my Summary field (the event title field) for those events that weren't showing up in iCal. So that issue is solved. I don't think it has anything to do with the zulu_UUID field.

However, I'm still curious as to whether I've got the auto-enter options set properly for my UUID field.

The auto-enter-blank is correct. We only have this in place so that when you duplicate an event in FileMaker the UUID from iCal gets erased.

Glad you got this sorted out!
