Can someone explain the relevance of the calendar display when the records displayed show the date (see pix). It would be more relevant to show a name or a phone number or some other info other than the date. Am I missing something here?

You’ve done that. The Calendar shows the primary field, that you can configure as you want: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/202624179-The-primary-field

Ah, okay … so I’ll need to change the primary key field which at the moment is the date. Thanks Elias!

I think I might recommend a feature update to pick the date field to use (for the calendar purpose) and then choose the field to display for the calendar entry. Changing the primary key after the fact is not so easy it seems.

We built an extension that allows you to pick any field to be your event name field using external calendars. It generates a calendar ics link that you can subscribe to in any calendar app (e.g. with your calendar app on your phone or Google Calendar).
