User level: Level 1 (4 points)I recently noticed that I can no longer edit dates in the Calendar app on my MacBook Pro. If I add an event, I can edit all the fields, including the time field, but I can't edit the date. This makes it impossible to add an event that is a multi-day affair to Calendar from my laptop. What is the fix for this?

On Mac Calendar the date isn't a normal text field. In the event's pop-up window you click directly on the date text (it's shown as a blue underlined link, for example "Nov 6, 2026") and a small calendar or date field opens, or you can type a new date. Try that, or press Command-I (Get Info) on the event and edit Starts and Ends there; for a multi-day event also check All-day is ticked first.
If the date still can't be changed, try quitting Calendar (Calendar > Quit), reopening it, and test with a new event in your iCloud calendar and not in a subscribed or shared calendar, since those can be read-only. Which macOS version is it, and which calendar is the event stored in?
