Allow events to have multiple categories

To avoid creating massive amounts of event categories and to enable discrete filtering and reporting, we would like to be able to tag events to multiple categories - i.e. church service + wedding + baptism or chapel service + communion or family ministry event + middle school+ boys + bible study.

    Equally weighted so that they could be combined in a wider variety of ways.

    Hi Marilyn, thank you for posting this! I had a similar request to improve functionality for events. I wonder if there is a way to merge the two ideas. Here is a copy/ paste of the idea I posted:

    The "Description" field is not sufficient for all of the details needed for event setups. Is would be helpful if fields were added to include certain information. For example: Name of Group, Event Type, Contact details, Room set up, Other Resources needed, and Beverages and food? These are the details our team needs to set up an events and it would be great if we didn't have to type it in the description section every time.

    Samantha - to answer your question re: categories, for us all categories would be equally weighted.

    Thank you for posting this Idea! One followup question for voters - would you want to set a primary category with additional subcategories that could have multiple selected, or, would you see all of the categories as equally weighted?
