Add a Calendar Selector to DayBack for FileMaker

KC Embrey has written a custom action to turn the “new event” button in DayBack into a calendar selector. This lets you make new events even faster and is the basis for creating event templates.

Here’s a short video of this mod in action:

KC wrote the original version back in May but just updated it to work in DayBack for FileMaker 19, since FileMaker’s web viewer blocks the right-click listener from firing. In FileMaker, you’ll activate this feature with a key combo like shift-s.
