Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. share a calendar with edit rights to a user
  2. with that user add a event, choose "When shared show only busy"
  3. the user does not see the description any more, title changes to "busy"
  4. switch back to "show full event", title and description is lost
Expected behavior

For a user with write permission, the option "When shared show only busy" should have no visible effect. Only puplic views should be restricted.

Actual behavior
  • For a user with write permission, after switching to "When shared show only busy", title switches to busy, description is not shown
  • After switching back to "show full event" description is lost, title is changed to "busy"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shared-calendar edit-permission flow described in the issue: switch an event to “When shared show only busy,” then restore “show full event.” Trace the calendar sharing and event update entry points to find where write-permitted users are restricted or event fields are overwritten. Done means editors retain the title and description while only public views remain limited.
