The background to my question:
 
I have managed to remove an Item from the Calendar view by using an auto-assignment rule for a test field, that changes the read-only "ItemInCalendar" field to False which is very useful for me.
 
However, when the same process goes to make it ItemInCalendar="True" again, the Item does not re-appear in the Calendar, although the field changes correctly.

ItemInCalendar is a read-only field... If you managed to change it, tell me, I'll fix that loop hole
To show the item back in the calendar, simply do Item > Show in Calendar...

Normally read-only fields are still changeable with equations. That would be a "special" read-only field (like IDItem)?

Regarding the original post, if the Appointment field is set to automatically appear in the Calendar (Field Properties), then setting a value to that field should do the trick.
HTH !

Somehow the reply I just posted a few minutes ago "vanished".. :)
 
So I tested as suggested I checked the option "in Calendar by default" for the Field Management for Appointments.
 
It did work in the sense of bypassing the need for the Show In Calendar dialog at item creation time from within a grid.
-> However, if you do not have the exact time in the Appointments field - it creates an All-Day Event which cannot be turned into a Scheduled event later on through modifications of the Appointment Field value through input via the grid.
 
The Auto-assignment rule works as a toggle for the ItemInCalendar field -> manages to remove it, but again fails to re-add it once ItemInCalendar is checked again.
 
If this were to work, I can imagine a lot of possible uses - having personal views in the calendar for one, comparing actual vs. planned as another.

Agreed. As soon as the current version is stabilized, I'll work on the Calendar
