  • 1.  Creating new event by copying a past event

    Posted 09-27-2021 11:15
    Am I missing something with the latest updates? When I go to create a new event, and select that I want to copy from an existing event, none of my other events show up as options. Anyone else running into this?

    Thanks!

    I would guess its because your other sides were built in the Standard or Classic mode and you are moving forward with Flex.  The two are not backwards compatible.

    Hi Lori,
    If what Amy said didn't help, were your other events created this year? If not, you'll need to change the year drop down. Hope this helps.

    Mine is the same way - it seems random on which events show up in the list to select from. Yes I am trying to select other FLEX events I have created and YES I have the correct year selected. The only way to duplicate an event from another existing event is to go to the specific event I want to duplicate, click on it, then use the buttons at the top to "duplicate" the event. Seems there is either a glitch or a setting somewhere I am missing. Some of my events do show up, but many do not. This is frustrating!

    So - my understanding is that there are a number of ways to copy an existing Flex event - and it can depend on when it was created - pre or post the launch of the new experience.  So here's what I've discovered. Our events created in Flex pre-new experience launch do not appear in the search box that you get to by clicking More Options from the Events landing page and following that search path.  Only those events we have created post new experience appear.  And as previously mentioned - you can't copy events from Classic. 

    If you do a general search for your event and see it in the event list, there COULD be a small icon beside the name that looks like 2 pieces of paper.  If you click that you can duplicate (aka copy) the event.   Not all will show this icon.

    Confusing - a little.
