There has been a recent question on Calendar, have you seen this: Solved: Create customizable calendar on Power Pages - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Thanks for your reply Oliver.

Yes I have seen this question , But this did not worked for me.

I tried to add edit form of appointments but unable to edit those record in it.

Also the description is always in html format.

Also wanted to know is it possible to create a calendar which works similar like outlook calendar invite which is generated after creating appointments in model driven app?

"I tried to add edit form of appointments but unable to edit those record in it."

what is the issue you are facing here? 

"Also the description is always in html format."

do you mean that your description you want in HTML?

"Also wanted to know is it possible to create a calendar which works similar like outlook calendar invite which is generated after creating appointments in model driven app?"

if your list calendar is pointing to appointments from Dataverse, this should work just fine

ultimately you can do a custom render using Liquid and Fetch or again using the List component

--> When I am redirected towards edit form and if I want to change the start and end date or any field from the form I am not able to edit the form, seems like all the fields are converted to read only mode.

"Also the description is always in html format."

do you mean that your description you want in HTML?

--> No , The description that is present is in html format means when I am opening my edit form of appointments the description looks something like this as shown in below screenshot.

--> Do you have any blogs or links which I can refer to achieve this?

"seems like all the fields are converted to read only mode."
that sounds strange, have you checked the following?:

• table permissions
• form mode
• dataverse form column properties

"HTML Description"

I see now, ultimately you can apply JS to the page, to read the content of the text and convert to HTML

"Custom render via Liquid"

This documentation describes the list object and how to use it via Liquid. You can apply the same idea with just a Fetch, the List object will add a few additional features but will also make the code more complicated

Render the list associated with the current page - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

I haven't seen any specific article on building a custom calendar using liquid, but this is essentially HTML
