Description: We have far too many Event Categories and I'd like to merge a number of them together. What is the best way to do this? Is there a feature that let's me delete a category and reassign all events that use that category to a new one? Or do I need to go back to all the old events and update them manually? Thanks!

Good call. It's not available, but it should be.

A simple approach would be something like this:

1. I select Edit on an Event Category
2. I click the Delete button
3. A dialog appears asking me which category to convert existing events to.

I've seen other apps use this approach.

Thanks!

Right. That's precisely how the Thread tag and Rank deletion mechanisms work on this site.

It didn't make it into the big update, but it's done now.
