I have some complains that in the ics file in the location tag the name and not the address of the location is stored. As this ics is linked on modern devices to for example google maps the customers get wrong directions to the location.
Is there a posibility to override the base functionality which is using the location.name with location.address somehow?
I did this change in the description of the ics file.
But this is only in the DESCRIPTION- area from an ics file.
But in an ics file there is also a "location" tag, where you store at the moemnt the name of the eventlocation and not the address. See here the content of an ics file created with Amelia:

So how can I get the address into the ics location tag?

Hi Markus,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Having this placeholder in ics description will actually show the location address, instead of the name -
So, the .ics file is generated with the booking confirmation email, and once you open it, the.ics file reads the location name.
These placeholders can be used as well
