Difficulty setting up Parent/Child event structure

Hello,I am currently trying to reorganize my event structure in Events Booking.

My goal is to create a hierarchy where I have "Parent" events (general course information) and "Child" events (specific dates) to display them in a Grid layout on my homepage.

My desired workflow:

1. Create a Parent event (General course info, no date).
2. Create Child events (Specific dates) and link them to the Parent.
3. Use the "Category Layout" to show these groups in a clean grid.

The issue I am facing: I am not seeing the "Parent Event" field in the event creation screen. Instead, I only see an "Additional Dates" tab.

• I have checked the Configuration settings, but I am struggling to find the correct setup to enable the Parent/Child selection field.
• I have ensured that "Recurring Events" is set to "No", but the "Parent Event" field still doesn't appear.

Questions:

1. What is the exact configuration setting to enable the "Parent Event" dropdown menu for individual events?
2. Is there a conflict between "Additional Dates" and the "Parent/Child" functionality? Should I disable one to use the other?

Any guidance on the correct steps to make the "Parent Event" field appear in the backend would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bas

There is no event dropdown to allow choosing parent event as you want. Instead :

- The event you are adding on main screen will become parent event
- The events added in Additional Dates tab (which additional date is a new child event) will be children events of the main event

Hope it is clear to you
