Add event title to event description in iCal / Calendar

I have the following script that allows me to add a specific description to all events in a specific calendar:


tell application "Calendar"
	tell calendar "TEST"
		set theEvent to every event
		set description of every event to "hello world"
	end tell
end tell

I’m not sure how to proceed with altering the code above to add the also include a copy of the title in the description. The reason is that the event will contain details of the day and needs the title referenced. I’ve tried using

set description of every event to "hello world" & summary

But this just errors. Could anyone help and point me in the right direction to allow me to add the title to the description?

Thanks!

Your code:

set theEvent to every event

creates a variable named theEvent that is a list of all Events. You need to loop through that list, and edit each Event individually:

repeat with oneEvent in theEvent
set oneEvent's description to (oneEvent's summary & "Hello Y'all")
end

Good luck,

Hi, Jordan. Your erring snippet is attempting to do something outside its scope; the event description has no knowledge of the summary. If you’d generically targeted the events”rather than an event property”that would’ve worked, however, this really requires a loop, so as to end with unique entries for unique events.


tell application "iCal" to repeat with anEvent in calendar "TEST"'s events
tell anEvent to set properties to {description:summary & " ” " & description}
end repeat

Sorry for the repetitive nature of the post. Craig got in there while I was still looking at the problem.

Thanks both of you for your help, worked perfectly!!!
