Description

If I have an event that repeats on MWF, and I delete the Wednesday instance, can I restore it in any way? I mean I would like to have an event on Wednesday which is part of the same repetition, eg it can be edited simultaneously with all other instances, etc.

So far I can only do this by manually modifying the EXDATE section of the .ics files.

Research direction

Start by tracing how khal handles deletion of recurring event instances and how EXDATE entries are written to .ics files. Determine whether a deleted Wednesday instance can be restored while remaining part of the repetition and supporting simultaneous edits with other instances; completion should include a supported restoration workflow.
