Hi biotech, et al. Thanks for digging into this issue. The behavior doesn't seem right to me so I'll have to look into what is triggering the attendee status to be reset to invited - I'm guessing it's similar to the issue brought up here:

Sorry for the inconvenience - I hope to get you coding again soon.
