Event 'Organizer' is no longer the form's account - cannot modify appointments 😬

[Jaxom99]

Hi there,

For some time, I cannot modify anymore the appointment times. Appointments v.2.4.5 on Nextcloud 30

Before :

1. User books an appointment and receive a confirmation email (no validation step)
2. Owner changes the apointment times from the Nextcloud Calendar web interface
3. User receive an email stating that the appointment has been changed.

Now :

1. User books an appointment
2. Owner try to change hours in the web view
3. Nextcloud display the error : "you are not allowed to modify this event as a participant" 😢

In the "ORGANIZER" .ics info, I see the name of the owner's nextcloud account, but the email address is the one stated in the Appointments setting as contact info. Could this be a cause of mismatch and ownership conflict ?

The owner can still update the status : confirmed, cancelled. And the email are sent.

Thanks in advance for looking into it, I stay available to provide details.

I think this is related to recent changes by NC Calendar team:

• PR: https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/pull/6778
• Issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/issues/5899

Could this be a cause of mismatch and ownership conflict ?

Yes. Because of the changes to NC Calendar, email addresses must now match. The only possible workaround would be to add some kind of Booked Appointments Management feature/page, but unfortunately I don't have enough free time at the moment.

Thank you for answering so quickly and with the details 🙏 So I had a good hunch...

=> I guess we will be adjusting the email adresses somewhere, to make it work.

Take care, and hopefully you'll find some time or someone else wil be interested in coding what's missing!

PS: Perhaps it's best to leave this issue open (and renamed as needed) if other users encounter the same trouble.
