Hi, I have been testing the creation of recurring event exceptions based on the documentation at http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/elements.html#gdRecurrenceException.
---------------------------------- *via API * I am creating the exceptions by adding a new event with the <gd:originalEvent> element pointing to the recurring event series. I am comparing the xml coming back from Google and I see that irrespective of how the exceptions are created (specialized or non-specialized) the exceptions are not getting updated when the series is updated. The only thing that changes is the <gd:comments> element in both types of exceptions. The documentation states that if we create exceptions by 1)adding, changing, or removing comments, attendees, or attendee responses, then the exception remains tied to the original event, and changes to the original event also change the exception (aka non-specialized). 2) making any other changes to the exception (such as changing the time or location) then the instance becomes "specialized," which means that it's no longer as tightly tied to the original event. If you change the original event, specialized exceptions don't change. ----------------------------------------- * via Google web UI* The scenarios and results: scenario 1: create series create exception by adding attendee update series result: exception gets updated (as expected) scenario 2: using the above series create an exception by changing the location update the series again result: the series is updated but neither of the 2 exceptions gets updated. the result is as expected for the exception having the new location but the exception having the attendee should have gotten updated. scenario 3: create series create exception update series result: exception gets updated along with the series. update the series again result: the exception does not get updated this time. It seems like the non-specialized exceptions get updated only *once* when the series is updated. --------------------------------------- Please let me know if I have misunderstood the documentation or if this is a bug. Please help me. I appreciate your help. Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
