User level: Level 1 (0 points)Ios 27.2 ipad pro - calendar app cannot use the Enter key when editing description
When I am adding to the description field, the editor will not accept a press of an Enter key to go to a new line. This doesn’t work like it did before. Overall, the flow of this app when creating a new entry is worse than before. It is also laggy for a iPad Pro. Are there any fixes coming?

I am unable to replicate the issue that you describe.
On my iPad, with iPadOS 27.2 installed, I can freely create and edit a Calendar event without issue. For a Calendar event Notes field, that allows free-text entry, the carriage-return/new-line works entirely as expected.
If your iPad is not operating as expected, try a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated or post-update software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
