Hi everyone. As the subject says, one of my flows no longer detects calendar events unless they are on the local account. 
I cannot select other calendars. See the attached picture.

I have not upgraded my phone, and I am on the latest app version.

I don't know what you mean by "local", but the block has only ever worked with the calendars stored on the device. If it's a Google calendar then ensure it's synced.

Yes, there should be a few gmail in the list. Their calendars show as synced since a few minutes ago in my phone's settings. I tried a manual sync, but it doesn't resolve the issue.

It works on my Android 16 device, and i see an "Holidays" calendar provided by Google Calendar.
Do you see the events in the Google Calendar app? Maybe you need to enable its "Events from Gmail" option.

Interesting. I do see them in Google Calendar, and the option is enabled.
I tried a few more things which didn't resolve it.

- I disabled and re-enabled the "Events from Gmail" option.
- I re-installed Automate.

The phone is a OnePlus Nord 3, running OxygenOS 15 (not 16).

Clicking a calendar field will not show hidden calendars. As a test, try using a Calendar pick block with its Hidden option enabled.
In the Google Calendar app there's also an "Share Google Calendar data with other apps", try enabling it.
Anyhow, this is not an Automate, it simply queries the available content provided by other apps.

Enabling "Share Google Calendar data with other apps" did the trick! I don't recall disabling it, but that might have been what happened.

Thank you, Henrik.
