Please I dont know what I am doing wrong but I realised anytime I doubleclick an event that is part of a series and I save it creates a new record with similar details after updating the event.
In the screenshot below, i edited an event in a series, but it shows added=1 and changed =1, then it creates a new event in the database with the edited details but leaves the original edited record unchanged
Hi Michael Marmah,
We apologize
for any inconvenience caused and wish to provide a clear and detailed
explanation of our previous update.
When a single event within a recurring series in the scheduler
is edited, such as modifying the Subject, StartTime, or EndTime, the updated
field values are reflected accordingly. The modified event is stored separately
as a new reference record to ensure that the changes persist while maintaining
the original series.
RecurrenceException: This field is used
to specify exceptions to the recurring pattern. It is a string field that
contains the dates to be excluded from the recurring event series. If a single
occurrence in the series is edited and modified to a different time, the edited
date is added to the parent event's RecurrenceException field.
RecurrenceID: This field is used to link an exception event to the
original recurring event. It is an integer field that matches the ID of the
original parent recurring event when a series is edited. For example, if you
have a recurring event with a parent ID of 2 and an occurrence is modified to a
different time, a new reference record will be created with a RecurrenceID of
2.
For your reference, we have attached images below.
So, when an already edited occurrence is edited or updated again, we maintain
the reference by adding it as a new record. Let us know if you need any further
assistance
Regards,
Ashok
