How can I make a custom repeating event?

Hello! So I want an event to repeat every 5 days and 2 hours, but I can’t find anywhere how to do that. I’m wondering if there is any way that I can do that?

Unfortunately not with Calendar. Recurring events must be in complete units of year, month, week or days. It's a pity the option isn't there for hour because you could have done the event in multiples of 122 hours.


You'll probably not find that this is not possible in any software calendar; it's assumed that repeating events recurring at regular intervals and 5 days and 2 hours isn't a regular repetition by computer definition.
