FAQ

Why can’t I add my task to a calendar?

Only tasks that have at least a due date can be added to calendar layers. Tasks without any dates set will show a menu as listed above but with calendar layers grayed out. If a calendar is shared with you, you must have full or editor access roles to add tasks to that calendar.
