Hi Aditi,

You could hide unwanted content type columns. Please follow:

1. In the calendar list > Edit List in SharePoint Designer
2. In the Content types section > click Reservations
3. In the customization section > click Edit content type columns
4. Select All Day Event > click Administration Web Page
5. In Column Settings > Hidden(Will not appear in forms)

Hi Adiiti,

The error message might occur for deleting the recurrence column. Please create a new calendar to test the issue.

To do this, please go to list settings, and activate “Allow management of content types” in the Advanced settings. Then perform the steps I mentioned above, since by default there is only event content type in a calendar list. So in the content types section, click on event.

In addition, please provide information about how you made the column hidden for me to reproduce the issue.

Answer 8

I found this solution on https://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/122987/how-do-you-hide-all-day-event-and-recurrence-from-event-content-type

No Code Solution (without Powershell and SharePoint Designer) to "hide Recurrence field" or "hide AllDayEvent field":

1. go to list settings
2. go to your event content type
3. click on some field to edit
4. the url will now look something like:https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/01/_layouts/15/ManageContentTypeField.aspx?ctype=0x0102005387B5A54CC55F43AF64A0B67EBB8CE2&List=a1b74248-bc1f-48ce-9bfd-02c7ab696931&Field=Category&Fid=%7B6df9bd52-550e-4a30-bc31-a4366832a87d%7D
5. now remove the "Fid" Parameter and replace "Field" Parameter value with either "fRecurrence" or "fAllDayEvent"
6. now you can edit the field and make it hidden so it won't appear in any form
