Description

Bug description

Remote shares are listed under Shares → Pending Shares.

In Nextcloud 29, the option to set a reminder is available for pending shares, but setting a reminder does not actually work.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Set up instanceA and instanceB.
  2. Alice (instanceA) shares a folder with Bob (instanceB).
  3. Bob (instanceB) tries to set a reminder for the pending share.
  4. 💥

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the Pending Shares interface and the Set Reminder action for federated shares, then reproduce the instanceA/instanceB flow. Done means the reminder option is absent for pending shares and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test.
