    Custom Event entity not visible in My Activities panel

    I have created a custom Event entity that duplicates the native Task entity. The reason is to make it compatible with the Google Integration extension. Everything works fine so far – the events are visible both in Google Calendar and in the EspoCRM Calendar.

    The problem is that I cannot make this new Event entity appear in the My Activities panel. At the moment, only Tasks, Calls, and Meetings are listed there.

    I have already added this entity in Admin > Settings > General > Activities, but it still doesn’t show up in the panel.

    Does anyone know what additional steps are required to include a custom entity in My Activities?

    Did you create the entity via the admin UI or manually?
    If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

      It was created through the UI - I notice that adding it to the Activate The List of Units is activating this entity in the My Activities panel but the status is missing (not started, started, canceled ...)

        Are your custom entity's Activities not showing up in a specific entity (for example, Opportunity) or in all related entities?

          I don't want to start a new thread, as this is directly related to the same topic - displaying the Event entity in the My Activities panel.
          I’ve noticed that there are several inconsistencies compared to how native Tasks behave in EspoCRM:

          1 - The status of the Event (new entity) is not displayed.
          2 - When a Task is outdated (status = Not Started / In Progress), it disappears from the list.

          Maybe it is also related to the issue that the event dates behave differently to the native tasks. When a task (in new event entity) is outdated, the dateStart field changes colour to red (set to before the dateEnd field). In the list view, however, the end date (set to after the start date) is not shown in red, but the start date is.

            As an update: if i want to change the status of the new task (new event entity) through My Activities I get an error:

            Bad request
            Backend validation failure.
            Field: status
            Validation: valid
