Recently I can observe my calendar on the Apple Watch and see all events including OF and the calendar own events.
Now it’s impossible :( – native OF Apple Watch app is not suitable to observe my daily routine.

+1 add this feature back

After transferring to a new MacBook and then upgrading from OF2 to OF3 I now have two versions of OF on my MacBook. OF3 & OF2. I am regularly using OF3. As a former OF2 calendar sync user I am getting ghosts in my Calendars OF Reminders calendar. Creating an action in OF3 with a due date creates a reminder in the OF Reminders calendar. Change the due date of the action in OF3 and the OF Reminders calendar now has a ghost reminder. Temporary work around seems to be to close OF 3 and open OF 2. After allowing a few minutes for synching the ghost entries in the OF Reminders calendar are cleared.

Why would you keep v2 on the machine?

+1 for bringing the feature back. I’m a new user and missing this already

It was unintentional. I moved a user account from the old MacBook to the new MacBook. Downloaded and installed OF3. When down both versions were still on the new MacBook.

New Omnifocus user as of version 3, and I find it hard to believe that this used to be possible but was dropped.

+1 to bring it back.

(As they suggest, I also emailed support@omnigroup.com about it.)

Please restore calendar integration.
Without it Omni Focus is not helpful to me.

I created an omnigroup account just to vote this feature up.

Thanks, I finally implemented this and it is very useful :)

Please bring it back! This will affect my decision to buy or not.

+1 for the return of this feature

+1 for this. I plan my calendar also based on the workload of tasks, I need to keep both app open and cross reference to manage my calendar. It’s a pain without.

loudoguno · April 15, 2019, 4:20pm

+1 for this. It was always very useful to have due date auto-populate in my calendar

voko · April 17, 2019, 5:46pm

+1 for this. Thank you!

Just to remind people: if you want to see a feature you need to email it to support as outlined in the first visit post ;)

Hi there

Than you for creating this script, I am trying to implement but have come upon a snag. I am new to OmniFocus and have almost zero experience in coding.

I have copy and pasted the text into apple script
Then created an Omnifocus calendar on the Mac calendar app.
Added the “OmniFocus” into name of calendar

When I clicked play this ‘Script Error’ appeared… The variable_default duration is not defined.

From reading the article I guess that meant 30 minutes which is also a good time for me so I inserted “30 minutes”

Clicked play again and this ‘Scrip Error’ appeared… ‘The variable start_date is not defined.’

The ScriptEditor then highlighted in the area shown below

– BUILD CALENDAR DATE
set end_date to task_due
set start_date to start_date - (task_estimate * minutes)

I can’t work out what to put in start_date as I am thinking that each start date would be different, I have also re read the article so if there is anything I’ve missed I apologise.

Thank you for your considerations

You just need to set minutes to 30, no words ;)
