I have installed the myTime script to detail the events on the Google Calendar. I will have multiple reoccuring events that need to be detailed individually. At the moment, the myTime script will only detail one event of the infinite reoccuring events. How can I change the script in order for it to detail each events as a seperate row of data?
I’ve attached the script I’m using below. It is exactly the same as the original.
PLEASE NOTE: I am no coder. Just very basic knowledge. Please help in detail if you can!
// To learn how to use this script, refer to the documentation:
