🚧 in progress (status category)
✅ done (status category) - if a resolution date is set, the issue date on the calendar = resolution date
🔔 due today
🚨 overdue
When creating meeting events from the issue side panel, you can also specify the date/time fields to use. Note that this setting is currently saved per-user. Let us know your feedback if you need more fine-granular control.

Check our roadmap and let us know if you need real-time sync.
On Apple Calendar right click the subscribed calendar, then Get Info → Refresh interval. And you can manually refresh by using the keyboard shortcut “command + r” (could take up to 30 seconds).
