Hello Karl, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with attaching documents to events in Evolution. You made this bug report in 2015 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Evolution since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 1460067 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Evolution better.

Expected behaviour: The user clicks the Attach button, selects files in the browser. The files are then transmitted with the invitation when it is send. This is the same behaviour as for plain email attachments. Current behaviour: After the user clicks the Attach button, the full path to the document has to be entered in the mask "Enter a web page, or document location". No browsing is available. Despite entering the path to the document, the attachments are not transmitted. Change request: Please enable the same attachment functionality to event invitations that is available for plain mails. If this cannot be implemented with reasonable effort, then at least remove or rename the Attach button in the event invitation as it is confusing.
