Description leon pollak 2014-06-20 11:44:45 UTC
Fedora 20 updated to KOrganizer 4.12.5.
When I press "New Journal", it opens the dialog with "Calendar:" list box empty. But when I create a new to-do or event, calendar is there. 
Thus new journals can't be created.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Pressing OK button highlights the "Title" edit box but nothing happens. Only CANCEL helps.

Expected Results:  
Creation of a new journal

Still here in 5.4.3
Comment 4 leon pollak 2017-04-18 12:58:32 UTC
In 5.4.3 it issues the error message "Select the valid collection first". Which collection is required - not clear.

OK, now I suppose I know the cause of the problem.
All my PIM is connected to my Google account - calendars, contacts, to-do's, etc.
In my old computer I deleted "personal calendar" - I am using Google!
But journals, for some unclear reason, require "personal calendar" to exist!!!
Now, when I built the new installation and did not have time to delete the "personal calendar" journal started to work!

Same here (openSUSE leap 42.3, korganizer 17.08.1). I use a DAV Groupware resource and a web calendar. If I make the web calendar writable, I can select it in the dialog for entering new journal entries. But the DAV resource does not show up in the list. I know that it worked half a year ago.

What do you mean by "Now, when I built the new installation and did not have time to delete the "personal calendar" journal started to work!"? Do your other calendars show up in the list, or only the personal calendar?

I've installed the latest version of Kontakt and set everything up successfully. Mails, contacts and even the calendar, integrated via Nextcloud, works flawlessly. 

Unfortunately I have the same issue with Journal.
A calendar connected via WebDav can not be used!
Comment 9 sourcemaker 2018-10-21 09:06:53 UTC
Addendum:
The "personal calendar" has been deleted.

Exactly the same problem here.
Comment 11 gjditchfield 2022-04-06 01:10:26 UTC
Currently KDE's Google API library does not support journal entries.
It also seems that many DAV servers do not support VJOURNAL objects.
For now I can only suggest storing them, in a local ics file.

According to [1], Evolution also supports VJournal entries, so I attempted this in GNU Evolution using a CalDAV web calendar (fastmail) to see if it was a client issue with my Kontact install (also listed as supporting VJournal in that entry), but GNU Evolution cannot do it either, as if you go to Calendar view, select a date, right click to attempt to create a VJOURNAL or Journal Entry option, there is no such UI element. There is a decade+ old patch note [2] for Evolution to support vjournal on the backend, but I cannot locate another way one should officially be able to do this in the Evolution UI. 

Semi-off topic, but just confirming that as of now, Kontact is not missing a feature Evolution supports. Both clients equally don't support creation of vjournal entries on a caldav backend :P
