how to copy a calendar event into another calendar

How do I copy a calendar event into a different calendar?

Hi  @alan_cordeiro and welcome to the Canvas community
This can be done by going into the course for the second calendar and using the content import tool to copy items from the course where the first calendar is located. For more details, see this post where a similar question was asked:

Is there a way to copy the calendar events from one course to another?‌

(6 years later, I know)

But is there a way to copy a single one-time event across courses within the Calendar? I know events/assignments can be posted for multiple sections. But for something like a one-day campus event--how do I post that to the calendar for each of my different courses without exporting/importing content?

There is nothing simpler than that??? This was requested in 2016 and in 2020 there is nothing? We just transitioned to Canvas and it's a flaming mess.

2022 adopter here and Calendars is clearly still a flaming mess. I have 38 events I need to populate on my course and there is no way I am click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-type-click-click 38 times. What happened to "upload .csv file"?

2024... Is there any effective way like a "copy to ..." function to or "select multiple courses to enter calendar events" ?

I'm looking for a way to copy a calendar event from one class to another that are occurring during the SAME grading period. For example, if I'm teaching a period of Biology and a period of Astronomy and the BOTH have an event on the same day, I want to just copy from one class calendar to the other. Alternatively, I could choose to have the event apply to both classes when I create the event. 

The "answers" listed above seem to be talking about copying calendar events from one term to another term or from one year to another year, which is different that what I'm trying to do.
