Bug description

When user accepts invitation to be an attendee in group calendar to which he belongs to, this event copies to his default invitation calendar where his attendee state remains "Has not responded to admin's invitation yet", and also attendee state remains unchanged ("Has not responded to admin's invitation yet") in group calendar event view.

Organizer shared calendar event state after attendee accepts invitation via email link:

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create common user group for organizer and attendee.
  2. Create shared calendar for created common group.
  3. Create event in shared calendar and add attendee user in attendee list of the event.
  4. On attendee side accept invitation for the event via email link.
Expected behavior

After event is accepted via email link attendee state of the user is also accepted by attendee in default invitation and shared calendar views. And there is no need in default invitation calendar event creation if original calendar is shared with this user.

Research direction

Reproduce the four listed steps using the email invitation link, then compare the organizer's shared calendar with the attendee's default invitation and shared calendar views. The work is done when accepting the invitation updates the attendee state consistently and does not create an unnecessary default-calendar event when the original calendar is shared.
