Another case that's hopefully implied by the general "Edit single instance of a recurring event" story, but being specific so it doesn't get missed:

Decline a single instance of a recurring event from an external sender: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/48933599-decline-a-single-instance-of-a-recurring-event-fro

Want to be clear: This *needs* to handle editing single instances of a recurring event *with other participants*.

Hopefully obvious that this is an implied user story being asked for, but commenting to make it explicit.

See this related request: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/46433014-modify-single-event-in-recurring-series-when-ther

Yeah this doesn't seem fixed at all to me. See @nucleartell's comments.

Considering they've marked this request as started, with a comment saying that it's available on the web - even though it is not fully in place on any platform, not even the web - it feels like this request is on it's way to also be erroneously marked as complete, just as the related request linked below.

Because of this, I put together a list about what works and not regarding this feature. I sent that list to Proton along with feedback regarding their lack of feedback here on UserVoice.

Hopefully it will get some attention, but I'm hesitant as some of these issues are so blatantly obvious that I'm sometimes wondering if Proton is even using their own service.

What doesn't work is my editing of a series owned by an external user. I want to be able to delete an instance of a meeting series from my calendar, not just decline the meeting.

@Josh I noted that you wrote "...but I am grateful they finally resolved this massive gaff for recurring events that Proton users invite others to".

I have not seen any updates regarding this anywhere (where do you even find the release notes these days?) so I did some tests.

Compared to my last comment from 1/4, you can now both edit and delete recurring events that have attendees, but you still never get the option for "this event and future events".

The iOS app is still lagging behind as you can't edit recurring events with attendees there and if you try to delete the event instead, you'll get a prompt asking if you want to remove the entire series.

Since there are no separate UserVoice sites for Calendar on web/PC/iOS etc, I'd consider this request to apply to all platforms. Hence this should not be marked as completed until we have feature parity between the platforms.

It also should not be marked as completed until we have the option for "this event and future events" for events with attendees as well. I mean, say you have a weekly recurring meeting with no end date set and you want to edit or delete that meeting after some time. Right now the only option is to edit or delete one instance at a time or delete the entire series...

I also tested external invites. Proton Mail says that the ICS file is invalid for some reason, so I can't perform any actions on the invite email in Proton Mail. Still, the event shows up in Proton Calendar and I can choose how to reply from there. But the issue remains that whatever you do with that event, it will apply to all of the events in the series.

So neither this request or the other that @Josh found is really completed.

I took the liberty of searching for the "feature" you are requesting, @Grégory, and ironically it exists and has been errantly marked as "Completed" by the Proton team. It is called "Delete individual entries from shared recurring events".

I suggest reposting your comment there, although since it has been errantly marked as "Completed", it may also be worthwhile to add a new "Idea" even though that is technically a duplicate of the existing one with the title above. But at least it wouldn't be incorrectly marked as "Completed"...

@Grégory it took the Proton team over 4 years to deliver this "feature" which is actually core to any usable calendar system, especially in any kind of business context. It should 100% have been added *before* Proton Calendar was considered out of "beta".

The (also, arguably core) feature you are asking for is separate, which has to do with recurring meeting invitations from others outside of Proton. I am not sure whether there is a separate Uservoice "Idea" for that, but if there isn't, you should start one, as the Proton team certainly didn't give much attention to this thread for 48+ months. In any case, I agree with you that this is also an annoying limitation, but I am grateful they finally resolved this massive gaff for recurring events that Proton users invite others to.

Actually, this is becoming a FUNDAMENTAL blocker for me. I am seriously considering giving up Proton Calendar entirely because of the inability to decline a single instance of a recurring event, as I have to work with customers who schedule recurring calls very often.

I echo Marco's comments, particularly when the event was organized by someone else.

We have a monthly sync scheduled up every month, but recently we all agreed for April to be wiggled one week earlier -- and keeping all the other months the same. Because we can't edit the one event, it then leaves either April's sync inaccurate (even if attendees make their own private event, the April recurrent-group event still exists on the wrong date), or, the April event is right and all other events are wrong (causing people to potentially schedule other meetings during a time slot that should be reserved).

It's not so much a "missing" feature, it's actively causing problems by providing bad data to the user.

Josh is correct, it isn't really working when there are attendees involved. If you try to edit, it will change the entire series.

You can at least delete single instances, even for events with attendees, but you never get the option for "this event and future events".

Until this is fixed, the support article should be updated to reflect the current state. But this needs to be pushed up the priority list as it's a crucial feature. The fact that this issue only occurs when there are attendees should've been caught before the feature was released.

This does not work when the event has attendees, still, which is abjectly embarrassing.

I got my hopes up based on Peter's comment below and tried, but get the following:

Update recurring event
You will update all the events in this series. An invitation will be sent to the event participants.

There is no such prompt to edit a single occurrence per the support article. This is still, unbelievably, an outstanding deficit in core calendar functionality for Proton Calendar. It should never have come out of beta without this, and it is absolutely unconscionable that it has STILL not been remedied.

This should already be possible according to the support article linked below and based on my own testing just now.

https://proton.me/support/protoncalendar-create-update-and-delete-recurring-events#how-to-edit-or-delete-a-recurring-event

This seems to me pretty "table stakes" - it is incredibly painful, especially when the event is created by someone else (client or business associate) and we cannot change a single occurrence (e.g., declining it) without impacting ALL events - and it looks extremely unprofessional that we can't do something that is taken for granted.

To really be (barely) parity with *all* other calendaring apps, we would need to be able to:

- edit just one instance (location, time, participants); or
- edit "this one and all following"; or
- change response just to one occurrence (attending yes/no)
- delete "all following"

Really basic stuff, honestly.

I agree with others that this is a bit of a dealbreaker at the moment. I've migrated both my personal and business calendars to Proton but have found certain basic missing features like this which make it untenable to use for much longer if this is not solved. (I have a paid Visionary plan)

I agree this is business critical. I look so unprofessional for not being able to adapt appointments with clients.

This is a critical calendaring feature that - without having - will unfortunately make it so I have to move away from Proton if it's not added soon. :-( I couldn't find another issue and whether this includes the ability to respond differently to a series, but it seems like when I can't make one instance of a recurring meeting, I have to decline all of them. The inability to modify a single entry in a calendar series that has other attendees is a dealbreaker.

For the love of all that is right in the world, PLEASE fix this. I have lots of shared family events for 6 people and changing one instance of it isn't possible. So ... very ... painful.

"Update recurring event
Close
Would you like to update all events in this series?
Previous modifications on this series will be lost."

This is annoying when wanting to move an event to another calendar.
