Calendar item location entry changed with iOS 27.0.1

I used to be able to type an event location into "location" for a calendar item, and it would save as typed if I so chose. But since I've updated to iOS 27.0.1, it brings up a search box to type into, and I have to accept one of the locations in the search in order to save a location.

So... I hate that. I put football and basketball game times for my favorite teams into my calendar, and I want to put the TV network where the game will be shown into the "location" line. But since the update, if I try to type "ABC" into the line, it wants me to select one of several "Virginia ABC" liquor stores, and won't let me just save the three letters. I haven't tried other networks yet...

Type whatever you want. What you're typing will appear below the text entry box. Tap on that rather than anything in the search results below. It will populate Location.

Agreed! Here’s the link to give product feedback to Apple, in the hopes they might change it back:

Same issue. It is so irritating to not be able to use the location for what I type. I like to see that field on the calendar list view without having to open up the event to see a note. I use it not necessarily for a location.
