Calendar - create 8 day view

I am writing to see if it's possible to create an eight-day view to the calendar. Currently, the calendar offers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 31-day views, which are all very useful. However, an eight-day view would allow for a full week to be displayed from Saturday to Saturday, providing a more comprehensive and flexible overview of the week.

I believe this would be a valuable addition for many users who prefer to plan and organize their schedules based on a Saturday-to-Saturday week. Perhaps with a filter. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. Any help would be appreciated. 

Deleting unneeded fields

When I imported data from ECCO, IQ also brought in all the ECCO fields, many of which are either redundant or no longer useful. To streamline the data in IQ, I’ve been attempting to remove some of the zero-entry fields. However, I’ve noticed that certain fields cannot be deleted, as the delete option is greyed out.

Could you please advise if there’s a way to remove these unnecessary fields?

Updating (refreshing) the "Link Text" after creating an "Inline Item Link"?

Scenario:

1) Create new Item X, containing a text string such as "this is original text".

2) Create new Item Y and type "[[" within Item Y to bring up the "Embed Link to..." dialog.

3) In Item Y, use the dialog to embed a link to Item X (with "Use Item Text" checkmarked in the dialog).

4) Now, Item Y displays a clickable link ("this is original text") that points to Item X.

5) Modify the text of Item X, such as "this is MODIFIED NOT original text".

Lost sub-items

I just discovered that I've lost many sub-items that I thought were assigned to multiple parents.

1) Start with an item and sub-item in one grid, and a 2nd item in another grid =

 

2) Assign Sub-item to grid-2.  This grid now has two top-line items =

How to collapse all sub-items?

This has happened a few dozen times:  I hit ctrl-right arrow to move one item under another.  Instead of moving the item, it expands all the items in the grid to the 15th level.  I haven't been able to reproduce it.

How do I restore the grid so all items and sub-items are collapsed?  

Item>Sub-Items>Show Levels>1 = 
this collapses outline to 1 level, but leaves all the sub-levels expanded.

Item>Sub-Items>Show main sub-items = 
this helps but still leaves many sub-levels expanded.  

Countdown for a certain date in the future (with daily refresh)

Hey. What's the most effective way to count down to a certain date in the future?

Using a column with a bit of VB scripting? Or is there a more 'native' solution?

Also, rather than display the countdown values in a separate column, is there any way I could calculate this number inside the 'item text' field - or display it there (if it were a column value), surrounded by text?

Many thanks!
