Research direction

Start by reading Bugzilla issue 1873834 and the linked Matrix report to confirm the CalDAV limitation. Add a SUMO knowledge-base note explaining that moving an event between calendars is currently unsupported when the UID already exists, and reference the two related bugs as known issues.

Description

From B Shopov in #sumo:

  • The issue is that bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1873834 If you are using CalDav with the majority of the providers (I am testing some more atm) you can't move one event from one calendar to another, because we are using PUT command and the CalDav server doesn't work with it if the UID already exists. There are 2 bugs on that subject and it would be nice to document it that we don't support this now and it's a known issue.
