User reviews

Google Calendar Quick Duplicate is praised for its simplicity, time-saving Alt+Click shortcut, and usefulness in duplicating events quickly. However, a frequent complaint is that after duplicating, the calendar view resets to the current date, disrupting workflow when planning future events. Other issues include inconsistent button appearance, occasional malfunctioning of the duplicate feature, and unexpected calendar navigation after duplication. Despite these drawbacks, users find the extension helpful and a valuable enhancement to Google Calendar functionality.

Working great, the only thing that can be edited is to chose number of duplication like two or three duplication and the other thing is that it changes the view after duplication done to 7 days and changes the week start day

Unusable, clicking the duplicate button just brings you to current day without duplicating anything.
