Ending a recurring calendar event without losing modifications
Ending a recurring calendar event without losing modifications
- Hi.
A customer is using Sharepoint Online as a way to schedule lessons for instructors. Most of these are weekly recurring events. In some cases, a studen cannot make the lesson on a certain day and is rescheduled for a different day/time. They do this by opening the item and deleting it. However, when the student is finished, the recurring event is ended by opening the series and insterting an "end Date" to the recurrence. When this happens, all of the modifications made to the recurrence are ignored and the original entries are put back in to the series.
Is there a way to not have this happen? If "Bob" is moved from Tuesday to Thursday one week and that recurrence is ended, they want that Thursday appointment to remain on Thursday, not get moved back to Tuesday.
Thanks,

- Hi,
I think what you are looking to do is either edit the series or just an individual event. If Bob is moved from Tuesday to Thursday, but just for that week, edit the individual calendar entry. The current week will have Bob on Thursday and then next week it will return to Tuesdays. If Bob can no longer make Tuesdays, only Thursdays then edit the series. All future events will happen on Thursdays and anything relating to that event (Tuesday or Thursday) will be saved.
Thanks,

That's precisely what we did. However, when we edited the series, the original Tuesday that was moved is put back. This shows that Bob had an appointment that Tuesday, when in fact he did not.
I will try editing the event on a test site without deleting the item (just editing the item) and see if that recreates their issue.
Thanks,
Mark
