For a data class, the constructor defined in the class header is the primary constructor. It can't delegate to any other constructor in that class (though it can delegate to a superclass constructor).

However, you can define secondary constructors in the body of the class, as long as those delegate to the primary constructor. For example:

data class EventItem(val dateEvent: String) {

    constructor(date: Date) : this(date.toString())
}

The problem in the code you've posted is that your secondary constructor is trying to delegate back to itself. You have to delegate to the primary constructor instead, and that means you need to be able to determine a value for all of the parameters missing from the secondary constructor.
