option to 'copy' a prior event listing

Hello all,

I posted this in this forum because it's a feature/option we had on Ning, and one I used frequently.

I didn't find another request here in the support forum for it (apologies if this is a duplicate discussion).

As an example: I teach a course presently titled "English Addicts" and list 3 or more classes per week related to this course.

Much of the event listing (class listing) detail is the same (consistently).

However, each class focuses on a different topic, so the title of each class changes (names the topic).

I schedule these at varying times, to accommodate the changing enrollees' schedules.

On Ning I could click 'Options / Copy' and then a duplicate copy would pop up and I could quickly edit and post.

Here on JamRoom, unless I'm missing something, my choice seems to be to either list over and over and over as 'one-off' classes, and painstakingly copy and paste consistent info.
Recurring does not work for me in this instance because, for example, I might have
English Addicts, a new ocean? on Mondays at 9 a.m.
English Addicts, idiom practice on Mondays at 4 p.m.
English Addicts, immigration on Wednesdays at 3 p.m.

I usually change class schedules on the first weeks of a given month, so I suppose I could list recurring for one month only, and then edit to change the titles.

and then repeat this process for each month.

But it would be handy if there were an option to copy/duplicate any past event.

Any suggestions?

I'd like to know about this as well.... thanks for posting the question, Holly.

You can use the recurring to create the event, then edit to update it on the day you're interested in.

Now that I've finally gotten several recurring classes posted, I can SHOW you why this is so frustrating for me.

Please see the attached screenshot. You can see that there are several instances of PEP! [Practice English Persistently] classes on the calendar.
As more students enroll, more class times are added.
As members come and go, as schedules for a majority of active PEP! participants change, modifications are made in the schedule.

At least six different instances of PEP! times are added each month.

I don't like to schedule these too many months in advance because I often have to make changes in the schedule (so if I post 3 or 4 months in advance, I end up with a lot of nuisance editing).

If the 'copy'/'clone' feature were available, I would be a very happy camper/JamRoomer.

For your further consideration (please).
Thank you,
