Description

  1. Alice invites Bob to an event (takes place once a week and will end after 20 occurences)
  2. Bob accepts the invitation
  3. The attendence status is updated for Alice
  4. It's not possible to modify the recurrence settings now

I find it weird that accepting the event invitation by an attendee does change to be a recurrence-exception even if the date and time is still the same.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the four-step invitation flow described in the issue and compare the event's recurrence settings before and after Bob accepts. Done means accepting the invitation updates attendance without turning the unchanged occurrence into a recurrence exception, while recurrence settings remain editable.
