Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes

a) if a user modifies a event in a recurring series there are no visual indicators in the editors that the event is still part of a recurring series as the event appears to be a separate singleton event, even though the event is still technically part of that series and is saved in the same ics file.

b) if the event is a modification of a recurrence in a series, there is no way to delete the recurrence modification.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if the user could,

a) see that the event is still part of a recurring series and is only a recurrence modification (visual indicator)

b) delete the recurrence modification

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually editing and re-importing the event

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce a modified recurring event in the calendar editor, then trace how the editor represents the recurrence modification and how deletion is handled. Done means modified occurrences are visibly identified as part of a recurring series and can be deleted without manually editing or re-importing the event.
