Edit calendar items created from a meeting invitation.

[ART-ist]

Accepting meeting invitations is getting a more and more common part of my workday. When I accept a meeting invitation Thunderbird automatically creates a calendar entry for that meeting. That's very useful.

The Problem:

Somehow many of my customers have the same "creative" idea of calling all meetings to what subject ever "Meeting with M.". That leaves my calendar rather useless. Unfortunately I can't edit such a calendar entry except setting a reminder. Actually I'd like to be able to edit that calendar entry like every other one but at least change the title of a meeting that was created from a meeting invitation in Thunderbird.

My Workaround:

As I host most of my calendars in Nextcloud, I open the calendar there where I can easily change the title and sync the change back to Thunderbird.

The Solution:

It would be great if I could not only set or change a reminder for the meeting in Thunderbird but also change the meeting title.

I guess a solution wouldn't need to be too sophisticated. Of course, when I get an updated Invitation it would be nice, if Thunderbird asked if I want to keep my title or apply the one of the invitation. But even if it was just ignored or my title was overwritten, In the rare cases, when I receive a modified meeting invitation, I could change the title of my calendar entry again.

Maybe we just need that "edit" button, that's available for other calendar items.
