I can't believe this is a new question, but I can't find it in a search.

I have several nodes set up with repeating dates. I set the date to display only one value, but the one I want is the next one to occur, not the first one (which has now passed). I haven't yet found the right combination. How do I do that?

Okay, I found Show 1 values Starting from: "now", which takes care of the straight node display. So that leaves the Calendar Upcoming display, which may select more than one of those events. How do I get each of them to show the selected value?

The upcoming display should only show the dates that match the filter. Be sure to set the option to add the delta field in the filter. It is the delta field that tells the view which date to display.

Just realized the default calendar was using the 'Content' option on the upcoming block. Change it to 'Fields' and it works as I described. I am making that fix to the default calendar. The 'Content' option shows whatever you have set up for the node or teaser view, the 'Fields' option lets us display individual field values, which is what we want here.

I also just realized that you also need to add a sort to sort by the date field or you will end up with something like all the fields from the first matching node followed by all the fields from the next node.

Also adding this to the default view.

When I make changes to the default calendar, you can pick them up by reverting your view.

Ouch. I had to change every one of them to the correct date field... Node created date isn't terribly useful.

@Nancydru; I'm using the latest ver 7.x-2.x-Dev but I don't see where to set Starting from: "now" in the field format settings form, as you stated in #1 above.

Manage fields, and click on the gear icon.

I don't see 'gear icon' in 'Manage fields' tab. I see it under 'Manage Display' tab. When I click it I see options in the attached image.

I'm seeing the same issue as @chalee . Drupal 7.8, Date
7.x-2.0-alpha4.

No gear anywhere in Manage fields, I do see a gear under Manage Display, Clicking it shows the Date settings form but without a "Starting from" option.
