# Custom Edit Form

The Scheduler enables you to customize the editing form and inputs used to create and update events. You can apply the following customizations:

* [Customize selected fields of the default editing form](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/editing/custom-form#customizing-the-default-editing-form)
* [Customize the recurrence summary](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/editing/custom-form#customizing-the-recurrence-summary)
* [Customize quick create](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/editing/custom-form#customizing-quick-create)
* [Create a custom editing form](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/editing/custom-form#creating-a-custom-editing-form-from-scratch)

## Customizing the Default Editing Form

The default editing form of the Scheduler can be customized using the [SchedulerFormEditor](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/schedulerformeditorprops) component and its multiple properties. Using this approach, you can customize selected field editors and keep the default editing configuration for the other fields.

The default `startEditor` and `endEditor` use separate date and time inputs with [coordinated range selection](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/editing#date-and-time-selection).

The following example demonstrates how you can define custom editors for the **title** and **isAllDay** fields of each event. The [SchedulerFormEditor API](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/schedulerformeditorprops) lists the available editor properties.

## Customizing the Recurrence Summary

Use the [`recurrenceSummaryTemplate`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/schedulerformeditorprops#recurrencesummarytemplate) property to customize the recurrence summary. The summary is displayed below the recurrence button and inside the recurrence editor dialog, and is rendered only when the event has a recurrence rule. The template receives the current `recurrenceRule`, the default summary `text`, and the `parsedRule` object.

The recurrence button always displays the localized **Make recurring** or **Edit recurrence** label.

Use `text` to keep the default translation or build a summary from `parsedRule`. Truncated summaries show their full text in a tooltip. The [template props](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/recurrencesummarytemplateprops) describe each value.

> The `recurrenceButtonTextTemplate` property is deprecated and ignored. Use `recurrenceSummaryTemplate` instead.

Pass a Vue component to the template:

```vue
<SchedulerFormEditor :recurrence-summary-template="RecurrenceSummaryTemplate" />
```

This example adds an icon and border to the default summary. Open an event and choose **Edit the series**, then **Edit recurrence**, to see both placements.

## Customizing Quick Create

Use [`quickCreateForm`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/schedulerprops#quickcreateform) to provide a component, render function, or named slot. You can wrap `SchedulerQuickCreateForm` and pass its `validator` prop to validate the title. Without a custom validator, an empty title is allowed.

When using a named slot, forward the supplied `props` with `v-bind="props"` to preserve the `submit`, `moreoptions`, and `cancel` listeners.

The validator returns `{}` for valid input or an error such as `{ title: 'Enter an event title.' }`. Use the mapped title field for custom [model fields](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/scheduler/api/schedulermodelfields).

Other required fields must be completed through **More options** and validated in the full form.

To control the draft, wrap `SchedulerEditSlot` through the Scheduler's `editSlot` prop and use `quickCreateFormItem` with `quickcreateformitemchange`. A view's `editSlot` setting takes precedence over the Scheduler-level setting.

To apply the same creation restriction to the full editor, also control `formItem` with `formitemchange`. Accept `event.value` when creation is allowed. Always accept `null` so the editor can close.

The example requires a title and limits slot-based creation to weekdays, 9 AM to 5 PM.

The Agenda view retains its task-based interactions and does not display quick-create popovers.

## Creating a Custom Editing Form from Scratch

The Scheduler also provides an option to define a fully customized editing form. The following example uses a custom form to edit Scheduler events.

> Custom forms must handle their own date constraints and recurrence fields. Keep `SchedulerFormEditor` to use its date coordination and recurrence dialog.
