Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create new Event
  2. Leave Title Field empty (or clear it)
  3. Save
Expected behavior

Event creation should be blocked when no title is set.

Alternative: properly pre-set the Title as "Untitled Event"
Image
(Left shows the CardDav when i manually enter the name as Untitled..., this shows up in Synced Calenders, Right is when I don't give any title)

Other Clients behavior:

Won't allow empty title/name:

  • FossifyCalender
  • Thunderbird

Allows empty Titles but prefills example Title:

  • iCloud.com Calendar

Allows empty Titles:

  • Nextcloud WebApp
  • Gnome Calender
Actual behavior
  • Event creation is not blocked.
  • Nextcloud shows Event as ~"Untitled Event" (translated by me)
  • Synced clients may not show the event at all (Fossify Calender with DAVx⁵)
  • Nextcloud sends Email Invites: Subject 'Invitation:' 'example want's to invite you to ""' (translated by me, incl. double quotes)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Reproduce event creation with an empty title in the WebUI, then compare the behavior with the listed CalDAV clients; done means empty-title events are handled consistently and do not produce blank invitation subjects or disappear from clients.
