Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create calendar in lightning which resides on a server 2. create an event a on client 1 3. modify/replace ics file on server (e.g. edit it from some other device/client 2 by adding another event b) - the ics file on the server contains event a and b. 4. delete the just added event a on client 1 (w/o updating the calendar before) 4a (client 1 downloads the ics file using get-method (client 1 ignores the results of the get-reuqest) and immediately puts the updated ics (based on client 1 local data) file to the server.) Actual Results: event b which was added on client 2 is lost - calendar on server is empty. Expected Results: Client 1 downloads the ics file, merges it with the requested change and uploads the merged file which contains all events, but not the event a which was requested for deletion.

This is a limitation by design - control of ics calendars changes are on file level (regardless whether it's the file is located on a web or a file server). If you want a more fine graned control on item level including a conflict handling, you use a caldav server, which is designed for that very purpose. The use case for an ICS calendars is typically a pusblished calendar, which is only controlled by a single maintainer.
