Hi All, I've been discussing this topic with some other people on the Calendar team. One suggestion was to just allow participants to update events and assume they only want to change their local copy. If the creator of the event changes something, then everyone's copy would reflect the changes. I think this mimics the functionality in the UI, but I'd have to do some testing. For example, what happens (in the UI) when a participant changes something locally, and then the creator updates the same field?
Do you think assuming participant changes are local is any better or worse than using an override flag? -Lane On Jul 13, 3:18 pm, mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree with Charlie, > > For instance if I want to change my status from attending to cancelled > it would be nice if I can do this from the API, and have everyone else > know I have cancelled as an attendee. > > I would also like to maybe add just a few notes for myself with the > meeting.
