We have a community calendar with multiple users listing events on the calendar. There is easily a couple of hundred events on the calendar at a time. Users are able to select multiple categories for their events, however, they are not able to select which category is primary on the front end. We need primary categories selected for each event. Otherwise, it has a detrimental effect on our ability to automate newsletters with event listings. And, there are too many events for administrators to manage on the back end.
