"Dates" column and the Calendar panel badge in Capable Search show fewer dates than the page has
What you are seeing
In Capable Search, the "Dates" column and the badge on the Calendar panel show fewer dates than the page really has. The count in the page byline is higher.
#Why it happens
The "Dates" column and the Calendar panel badge can't recognise Capable Event macros, so they only count Confluence's own dates. The page byline recognises both, so its count includes everything.
#What to do
Use the byline count as the true total. Your dates are all still on the page. Capable Search is simply counting fewer of them.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
Calendar subscriptions | Confluence settings → Capable (Capable Calendar in the standalone app) → Features | "Let users subscribe to Capable calendars from Google, Apple, or Outlook via a personal iCal feed. Turn off to disable subscriptions for all users." Only appears when the installed app includes the Calendar capability. |
Calendar (global settings tab) | Confluence settings → Capable → Calendar | Card title "Calendar subscriptions", description "Personal iCal feed links your users have generated for calendars." Lists user, calendar, status and created date, paged with Previous/Next. |
Calendar capability visibility | Space settings → Capable → capability list → Calendar | Auto shows the byline where relevant. In the Suite, that means only on pages Capable already knows contain dates. Always turns Calendar on for the space. Never hides it there. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Pages from search source | - | Dates on pages beyond the limit don't appear, and there's no warning. |
Date search index | - | The first date, last date and mentioned users are always recorded. Only the list of individual dates is capped. |
Indexed date search results | - | Not used at all until the calendar has worked out which date range is on screen. |

Switched all the event types off, but the calendar still shows everything
With no event types selected, the filter is not applied at all, so all sources are drawn.
Turned off "Confluence Date macros", but dates inside action items still appear
Dates inside action items are not covered by that switch.
