Laura Dauffenbach (ID: 000000a17963ff68) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/07/2020 Doesn't populate calendar with the highlighted fields. It only opens to the current date and time. I don't see how this is any different from the Google Calendar extension/app. Does anyone know of a good app or extension that will automatically fill in the fields correctly?
