Having trouble completing "Customize compact layouts"

1.Create a new event compact layout with the label: Showing Mobile Layout
2.Add the following fields to the compact layout in this order: Subject, Start, Property, Name.
3.Make the new compact layout the default for the Showing record type. (Hint: Do not change the primary compact layout for events. Enable the new 4.Showing compact layout in the Record Type Overrides section of the layout assignment editor.

For step 2. I don't have the option of the Property field and am unable to add it as a custom object to Event in the Schema Builder.
Also getting error id INDQUWUO

Goto Activity Custom Fields and create a new field "Property", Text 255. In step 4 ensure that Event Layout is marked. Then you find this field in the event compact layout settings as well.

Same here. I'm getting the exact same error. Not sure how to continue. Has anyone found a way to get this challenge passed?

I did that and the field appeared and I added to the compact layout without a problem. Now in the point 3, I got this error message: "The 'Showing Mobile Layout' compact layout does not appear set as the default layout for the 'Showing' record type." Any help?

Got same error on Step 3 while taking Challenge, Please advice

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
The 'Showing Mobile Layout' compact layout does not appear set as the default layout for the 'Showing' record type

To avoid this error:
    The 'Showing Mobile Layout' compact layout does not appear set as the default layout for the 'Showing' record type

You have to create a new 'Record Type' called: Showing, and set the compact layout as default:

Thanks Javier, After adding "Showing" Record Type for Event object, It is working fine now. Thank you for help.

Note - Record Type name should be "Showing" only, otherwise it will not work properly.

This is extremely painful. It seems that it does not matter how many times you try and perform a Compact Layout Assignment to try and change the Record Type Overrides from the System Default to the Showing Mobile Layout and save it the system reverts back. It absolutely not allow you to save the Record Type Overrides from the System Default to the Showing Mobile Layout which is what the lesson is asking you to do. I am not sure anyone has solved this.

if you have 2 Record Types just make showing not active (edit ---> uncheck active) and this should work.

I have been stuck on the Showing Mobile Layout for two days now. Thanks Sameer for your comment that was the right answer. I had to go to the Event Record Types and uncheck the active option and only make the Showing Record Type the active one.

Hello Dexter,

I experienced the same struggle as you and found that I didn't highlight the record type, and so no change can be applied.

You need to click  "Showing" under Record Type make sure it'll be highlighted as purple (and you will see the purple box next to "Compact Layout to Use"' showing "1 selected"). Then pick "Showing Mobile Layout" from the "Compact Layout to Use" drop list (the yellow box will now show as "1 changed"), and click "Save". This should work.
