Hi Zag,

In some cases, specially now due to covid, (but also for friendlies, international competitions such world cups or final stages) some events are not played on the home team stadium. Is there any chance to be able to add an edit option to update the real event location, please?

TY!

This’d be nice!

Also be nice if (in normal circumstances) the strStadium could be filled with the home teams stadium.

OK this is now done, you can now change both the country and the city locations for events.

Tested on the next event and the info is there, but is not updated on the "Location" field:

Also it's still missing the chance to update the stadium.


Thanks again!

Ahh OK, generally team vs team sports haven't used the Country or City fields. But I have added them as well as the stadium name just in case people want to fill them out.

How do you change the stadium name once the event is created?

I've managed to edit the city and country fields, but not the stadium.

Essentially you cant...

it's auto generated from the home team currently. We don't hold it as a data item, its just a lookup.

I can always hide the home stadium if you want, its not essential.

I think that would probably be preferable as entries like this just look odd:

Location
Cardiff City Stadium
Baku
Azerbaijan

OK makes sense, I will also see if I can adjust the importers to add location data for team vs team events.
