Bug description

When updating a calendar event with attendees the changes generate a new invitation link instead of reusing or replacing old link, causing multiple links in the database for the same event.

Screenshot 2024-09-08 175201

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create event with attendees
  2. Change above event date or time
  3. Check calendar_invitations table for generated links
Expected behavior

Changing the event should reuse existing link or replace the link with new link by either updating the row or removing the old rows

Research direction

Done means updating the event reuses or replaces the existing invitation row rather than leaving multiple links for the same event.
