Additional info

This issue affects all users in our organization who manage recurring meetings.
Currently, the only workaround is to delete the recurring event and recreate it whenever the attendee list changes.
This is time-consuming, especially when many participants are involved.

Could you please confirm whether this issue is already known, and if a fix or workaround is planned for an upcoming release?
