Description Ed Greenberg 2016-12-08 16:48:10 UTC
I have a non-recurring appointment, and when I try to modify it, I get a red band on the top stating:

Failed to modify an event in the calendar 'ed@xxx.com : Calendar'

Cannot modify calendar object: Support for modifying single instances of a recurring appointment is not yet implemented. No change was made to the appointment on the server.

Thanks for a bug report. You are right, there was an overlook in the detection whether the event is or is not a recurring event and that the calling method changed, thus the evolution-mapi simply rejected any event modification, except when trying to modify all instances of a recurring appointment.

It's too late for your 3.20.x, but maybe you can ask your distro maintainer to backport the below change to the distribution package.
