How do you have your ConfiForms CalendarView configured and what is the configuration of the form that your smart dropdown field is linked to?

and this is the configuration of the smart dropdown field

the configuration of the Form Apps is just the Form Name and Allow data export and enable search

body: Thanks, so for the "ConfiForms Field to use as a calendar event title" you should put something like

```
[entry.AppName.Appname]
```

author: Fady Mousa
body: Hi [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) it works perfectly fine now ,, thanks for the Demo.

the mistake i was doing is that i was trying to apply the validation rule in the field definition it self not as you did.

i appreciate your help a lot


author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Validation on field definitions allows you to set up a regular expression (only) that validates the input.

body: Hello [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630) and [@Fady Mousa](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5074539)

I am using a Table View and want so show the User Name as event Title.

user = filed type: user

When usind \[entry.user.user\] i only get the user-id in our system but not the name.

Do you have a recommendation?

Kind Regards,   
Erik
