Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1026094

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140512145416

Steps to reproduce:

I am able to add an invitation to calendar from TB.
But I cannot edit the event until I accept or decline it.

Is it possible to add a small menu item to context menu or somewhere else just to enable editing?
Also relevant in case of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1026094
Version 24.5.0

Emm, no, actually the event can't be edited at all.
So a user cannot even move the event to different calendar.

What is the excat use case here you have in mind (what do you want to change and why is this required prior answering with the invitation)?

Comment 3

Sorry, the Summary was misguiding, fixing it.
The usecase: a user wants to store the invitation he received in Gdata (Google calendar).
He cannot because:
1. The list of calendars does not contain the Gdata calendars (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1026094
2. Editing of the event isn't possible.
Workaround: import the invitation to some (temporary) calendar. Then copy/paste the event to the desired calendar. After that delete the invitation from the temporary calendar.

WARNING! the workaround is BAD because TB instantly sends email with invitation to all participants!

It is by design, that you cannot edit an invitation before accepting it - until then, the event is only contained read-only in the received e-mail and not in a calendar, what makes it impossible to edit it.

But per comment #3, the main purpose of this bug is to enable adding events from invitations to Google calendar (via gdata-provider), so marking this one as duplicate.
