Repeated events

  This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

It would be helpful to add an event one time and have it repeat in the calendar without having to enter it numerous times. Uses would be for classes, appointments, work.  For example, it would be nice to enter "Chemistry Lab, 8am on Tuesday" and have an option to put it on the calendar every Tuesday up to an end date.

FYI...  recurring events was planned earlier this Summer, but then it was taken off of the release notes due to some additional things Canvas programmers needed to fix.  Here are a couple links of posts from erinhallmark for your reference:

Ugh!

Here I anticipated to find options to repeat my calendar lectures by selected days (e.g. MWF or TR) over 12 weeks. No! Instead, for each week, I have to set to repeat ONLY the first lecture. Then I have to set to repeat ONLY the second lecture. Then I have to set to repeat ONLY the third lecture.

Am I alone in finding this limitation is rather disappointing?
