Hello @smudra ,

thanks for writing this down!

I had a similar thought some weeks in the past, wanted to disable the rendering of that block for past events and than realised … that there might be reasons to have this in place also for past events. So I stopped there.

Now it would be interesting to know, what you suggest. Should the block just be removed (or better: not rendered on the front end) for all past events? Should this be selectable? Is this kind of differentiation maybe interesting for other blocks, too?

Would appreciate your thoughts!

Hi @carstingaxion ,
I looked at the use case scenario for keeping the Add to Calendar on past events.

This is one of the things I found on ChatGPT:
_Users may want to associate notes, documents, or reminders with past events, like a meeting or conference. By adding the event to the calendar, they can append relevant information or materials to help recall specific details when needed.

Adding past events can help ensure that there are no gaps in their calendar, especially when reviewing activities over the year or for tax and legal purposes._

Maybe we can keep it for now :)
Thank you
