How to display multi-day event on Start date?

Problem/Motivation

Our events (eg courses) last for months. We'd like a calendar which displays each event on its start date only.

Steps to reproduce

Using your SimplyTest.me link multi-day events display on every date of their range (see screenshot).

I tried adding a Start field to the view and selecting that in Format Full Calendar Display Settings ‘Start Date Field’ = ‘Start’. The calendar displays but it is empty (no events in it).

I have tried this using Calendar View 🐛 Smart Date sources not showing in Month Settings Fixed and came up with the same limitation.

Am I missing something or is this use case outside of scope?

Thanks for Smart Date - really helpful!

    Did you try setting both the start and end fields to the start value?

    Thanks for that idea. I just tested it again in a new simplytest.me.

    1. I added field 'When - start' to the view
    2. In Format Settings I put Start in both boxes (see screenshot 'both start.png')

    The calendar displays but is empty of all events (single day and multi-day)
