Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. User A on Server A shares Calendar A to User B on Server B with edit permissions
  2. 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.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Nextcloud Calendar UI with a federated calendar shared with edit permissions, then trace the code that populates the calendar dropdown during event creation. Confirm that the federated calendar appears as a selectable option and that an event can be created, while preserving the existing Thunderbird behavior.
