Description
Steps to reproduce
- User A on Server A shares Calendar A to User B on Server B with edit permissions
- User B tries to create an event but is unable to chose Calendar A
Expected behavior
It should be possible to select a federated calendar when creating events.
Actual behavior
The Nextcloud UI does not list the federated calendar in the calendar dropdown when creating an event.

Additional info
It's still possible to create events with a client like Thunderbird so this does not seem to be a permissions or dav issue.

Research direction

Confirm that the federated calendar appears as a selectable option and that an event can be created, while preserving the existing Thunderbird behavior.
