I create my data via a transform (various documentation elsewhere, but I think I noticed there is now a different preferred methodology--mine works well, so I am not rebuilding. It looks like this. Setting the background color works swimmingly (and instantly when the status is edited). I believe there is also a textColor property.
function transform(input){
var eventArray = [];
var records = input.data;
for (var counter in records){
var record = records[counter];
var calendarEvent = {};
calendarEvent.id = record.sys_id.value;
calendarEvent.title = record.event_name.displayValue;
var start = new GlideDateTime(record.event_begin_datetime.value);
calendarEvent.startMS = start.getNumericValue();
var end = new GlideDateTime(record.event_end_datetime.value);
calendarEvent.endMS = end.getNumericValue();
var status = record.event_status.displayValue;
var bgColor = "";
var textColor = "";
switch (status) {
case "Open":
bgColor = "#FFC433";
break;
case "Complete":
bgColor = "#AED6F1";
break;
case "Canceled":
bgColor = "#D7DBDD";
break;
default:
//bgColor = "#FFC433";
break;
}
calendarEvent.bgColor = bgColor;
calendarEvent.description = buildDescriptionString(record, status);
eventArray.push(calendarEvent);
}
function buildDescriptionString(record, status) {
var working = status;
//[ concatenate various values from record]
return working;
}
return eventArray;
}
The Properties section on the transform looks like this:
[
{
"name": "data",
"label": "data",
"description": "Transform Events for Calendar",
"readOnly": false,
"fieldType": "json",
"valueType": "object",
"mandatory": true
}
]
