I'm using the calender on my iPhone and also with CalDavSynchronizer and outlook.

Steps to reproduce
  1. create an event and invite someone
  2. invitation gets accepted
  3. wait some time for the cancelation mail sent to the invited attendees

Research direction

Start with the calendar app's invitation flow and reproduce the cancellation using an iPhone or CalDavSynchronizer with Outlook as described. Inspect the Nextcloud logs around the cancellation; the report says the log is available but does not provide it. Done means accepted invitations remain scheduled for attendees and no unexpected cancellation email is sent.
