Import Feed Overwriting Changes

Specifically, the Event Description is reverting back to what is being imported.

Hi Nick,

Our calendar recognizes events that are imported as being “owned” by someone else. Therefore, when the manual/automatic update occurs, it’s always going to overwrite the existing events. This ensures you are importing any updates, edited events or new events that have been added by the “owner.”

As a workaround you can add a feed, delete the feed, and select “keep the events” when prompted. Now the calendar will recognize these events as being “owned” by you. Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer receive updated events since you are no longer subscribed to the feed.

We have a “Preserve changes made to events retrieved from feeds” option with which it is possible to save the changes, but is only available in the hosted hub calendar.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your response. Would there be a way that I can edit the code of the plugin to “forget” about the Description field and not import that information?

Thanks,
Nick

No problem Mike. Your inquiry requires changes in the code, which unfortunately we cannot help with as part of our support. We’ll keep this topic open for a few days for other user to chime in if possible. Thanks for your understanding.

Ben
