Description
Trunk (22x) and 21 both require extra steps when adding and removing a field in the Calendar. Especially the removal is not very obvious that the user needs to click Save Field Changes twice and Save on the pop-up twice. 20x has a much better user experience.
20x: Add a field
User enters a name for the new field
User clicks Create Field - field displays in the list
User clicks Save Field Changes
The field is now available when creating a new event
21/22x: Add a field
User enters a name for the new field
User clicks Create Field - field displays in the list
User clicks Save Field Changes
Pop-up displays and user now needs to click Save on the pop-up
The field is now available when creating a new event
20x: Remove a field
User checks the box beside the field to remove
User clicks Save Field Changes
Confirmation message displays and instructs the user if they want to remove the field, to click Save Field Changes again
User clicks Save Field Changes again
The field is no longer available when creating a new event
21/22x: Remove a field
User checks the box beside the field to remove
User clicks Save Field Changes
Pop-up displays and user now needs to click Save on the pop-up
If you now create a new event, the field is still there
User clicks Save Field Changes again
Pop-up displays again and user now needs to click Save on the pop-up
Now the field is no longer available when creating a new event
Note: Much better – streamlined and more intuitive ... at least for the adding/removing of new fields.

I also think there are further things that should be improved here. Like the Title should be more like Add/Remove field, because there is no Edit function. And is it necessary to display all the default fields? Since those cant be edited anyway. If they are useful they can be displayed by a 'show default fields' button. But those are for a different issue.
