Shared calendar as default
My spouse and I use one shared calendar (currently on iCloud). It is a shared family calendar that we both have set as the default calendar for new appointments.
In Proton Calendar you can share a calendar and edit the shared calendar, but you can't set that shared calendar as your default. Big miss for us and a reason not to switch to Proton Calendar yet.

This is the biggest miss in shared calendar option!

Every month I hope to see changing the default calendar option added and I’m always disappointed. Surely it’s not a big coding job to make to make the change?

I agree with most of the comments below, this is a HUGE feature to have in order to jump ship to this calendar. Shared calendar as default is a massive need!

This is a massive miss by Proton for Duo account users. Isn't the point of Duo to link people?

My wife and myself were using iCloud calendar because (as others have stated) we want to (by default) add, delete appointments we have , and by default want this to be the calendar that is selected on my wife's iPad when she adds a calendar event. I didn't realize this was not part of the functionality or we would have not gone with the Proton Duo account for 2 years. This is so frustrating that if I could get a refund I would drop the Duo account and go back to the plus account, and continue to use iCloud for calendars
This really needs to be added to the functionality ASAP.

Yes, David, you would think being able to set the default calendar would not be a big coding change.

This cant be hard to implement.

As a business user, we need a common place for our team to add meetings, leave, events etc by default. Not sure why this hasn't happened yet

This is also a helpful feature, but a prerequisite is ensuring all members with edit access can actually edit a shared calendar from all endpoints (web, iOS, Android). Currently, this feature is missing in at least iOS. Please fix that critical gap.

I'm adding my +1 here as well. My situation is the same as many others. My wife and I share a calendar and Proton and it would be nice for her, who is not as technically savvy as me, to be able to have the calendar as default so she can quickly post events in the calendar and we both will be notified and given appropriate heads up. Why it has been two years since Proton has considered this I don't know, and I'm sure it's not a whole lot of work for them to implement this; Please Proton, do this much sooner, rather than later. Thanks!

I would also appreciate this.
A workaround for now is to have two shared calendars (Family 1, Family 2), one created by me, one by my wife. We set the same color and the one created by me is my default, the one created by her is her default. The events are in two calendars, but all the views look the same.
But of course it would be better to have an option not to do workarounds.

The originator of this idea stated it perfectly: my wife and I want a single shared calendar that is our default calendar.

agree with the others here, my family keep getting crossed wires because we cant make the family calendar default and it just adds to their personal.
This feels like an incredibly basic but very useful addition. Cant believe this was posted in 2023 and it's not gotten added yet, specially with a paid tier for families.

Definitely agree with Nick & Dave. We need to be able to set the shared calendar as the default.

Came from Gmail. Created a family calendar. Imported all meetings and shared it with my wife. Found out few days later was missing some appointments because they were in the personal calendar. Found out could not set the shared calendar as default en had to migrate the whole thing to the other person in order to make it her default.

Our family uses Proton and would like to use the family shared calendar by default.
