401686 - Impossible to restore exception (exdate) after deleting it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 378443

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Omar Bajraszewski]

I couldn't find any similar bug.When I create a repeating event and then delete occurrences and after that update the event, the deleted events do not appear

1)Create one hour event repeating daily (5 appointments)
2)Delete first three occurrences
3)Edit the event and change title and hours of the event

Actual result:
I can't see the event for first three days

Expected result:
If I update all occurrences the status of the event should be reset and the deleted events should reappear. So In this case I should see 5 updated occurrences, not only 2.

I disagree. If I delete occurrences from a repeating event they should not reappear but stay deleted.

Imagine a situation: there is a meeting everyday at 6 pm. On every Monday and every Tuesday at 6 pm you're busy and can't attend it. So you delete the event for Monday and Tuesday. Then the meeting time is changed to 8pm. At 8 pm you're free and can attend the meeting. You edit the event but the event doesn't display for Monday and Tuesday. In my opinion it's not alright.
If you only change a title  it's alright but in some cases the deleted occurrences should be restored.

I guess we just misunderstood. Its true that its impossible to restore exdates. Possibly, this could be marked as a duplicate of bug 378443. I can imagine no way to integrate this into the views, but it could possibly be integrated into the event dialog.
