Hi there - I’m trying to create an all-day event in google calendar and even when setting All Day=Yes the Start/End time is still marked as required and i’m not able to save/test the event, see picture below:

Good question.

Even for an All Day event you need to specify the DATE of the event.

@Troy Tessalone Thank you, sometime you just need a littl nudge to the obvious. Next question - Do i just input the date of the event in both start/end slots? Additionally, If I input the date and it does have a time will it overwrite the all day setting? I’ll test it out myself as well but if you already know that’d be helpful .

Both fields are required.

Check the field description help doc link for how to format the value.

When in doubt, test it out.
