User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:86.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/86.0

There is DATALOSS if I move a specific event of a recurring event series to another day. Here is the testcase on version TB 78.8.1 using CALDAV!

  1. Create a recurring event with a description 'global note hello world' e.g. 12th of March on a weekly base
  2. SAVE & SYNCRONIZE
  3. MOVE specific event from 19th of March to 20th of March (doesn't matter whether via drag-n-drop or double clicking and manually changing the date for the specific event
  4. SYNCHRONIZE

in TB and on Mobile
Expected result: specific event on 2oth of March should contain the description 'global note hello world'
Actual result: specific event on 20th of March DOESN'T has an EMPTY DESCRIPTION

Conclusion: when changing the date of a specific event from the generic recurring event series the description is lost. Specific events of the same recurring event series, that WERE ALREADY changed (e.g. adding a specific description) ARE NOT affected!

The same issue occured with local calenders (Bug 1664731), however this bug is already fixed. For CALDAV there seems to be a different backend - thx to Lasana Murray - for the input).

Best, Stephan

Stephan, can you still reproduce the issue or has it been resolved in the meantime?

I was trying to reproduce with TB 78.12.0 (64-bit) according to the above description. Without success.

Conclusion: TB team has solved the issue.

Resolving as WORKSFORME per comment#3.
