Bug description

When set once, remove all the time slots is displayed as "never at office" in the free busy calendar.

Steps to reproduce
  1. create a new user and use
  2. look in the free/busy calendar : the user is free
  3. add one working time slot and apply
  4. remove the time slot and apply
  5. look in the free/busy calendar : the user is busy
Expected behavior
short

The state should come back at the previous know state if we revert our changes.
So : free before set/remove time slot, free after

long
  • Allow to enable/disable the Availability feature
  • when disabled, allow to choose if shown free or busy

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the five listed availability steps on Nextcloud Server 28, then locate the availability and free/busy implementation through the project search; done means removing the only time slot restores the user's previous free state. Treat the enable/disable and default-status requests as broader follow-up scope.
