Copy events from a calendar to another

[livier]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open an event that I want to copy on another calendar
2. When I have right access to the original Calendar, I can transfert the event to another, nice.
3. but I cannot, or I did not see how, copy it ton another calendar.
4. appreciating your job anyway

Expected behaviour

It would specialy be nice to open public calendars provoded by frindly organisations (ex: https://agendadulibre.qc.ca/events.ics) and copy some of then in my private or shared calendar.

Actual behaviour

Just changing event fron a calendar to another, if I have right access to both

Hey, you can import your calendar to your Smartphone or another Calendar Manager. I don´t mean the subscription, i mean the WebDAV / CalDAV Link, so sign in with your nextcloud account. In a 3rd party app you should be able to copy events :-)

[archont00]

This is similar to cloning events within the same calendar (ctrl + drag to other day like with files or like in other desktop calendar apps or at least with Edit GUI).
#113

[livier]

as Happyfeet01 said in #932 the way of Acalendar is fine, but Acalendar is not on desktops, and is not free.
Any way, it is just a Cut/Copy/Paste feature from whatever calendar we can read, to whatever calendar we can write that would make the job.
I would not be able ti do this, but I hope this not too difficult ^-^

[maschu09]

I would like to support this feature request. Generally speakign it should be possible to copy and move events both within one calendar and between calendars (provided you have access rights to both). All attributes except start time and end time should be copied/moved.

Questions to clarify:

1. if a user sets a fixed date for a notification: should this (a) be automatically converted based on the relative time, (b) removed, or (c) trigger an alert with the option to edit the event options?
2. if the event has other participants: should they receive an update notification (a) always, (b) optionally, (c) based on some user profile settings?
3. if situations 1) or 2) arise: should you always have to confirm the changes?

Thank you!

Closing as Duplicate of #113

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@georgehrke, how is this a duplicate? Doesn't issues/113 refer to individual events?

[alexanderdd]

@RokeJulianLockhart with the duplicate button introduced via #113 , a duplicate of the event is created, and you can change the calendar where this new event should be saved. So this issue here is resolved.

(this issue here referred to individual events, just as #113 )

Thanks everyone 🙏

Hi,
I know it's long since previous post but "Duplicate" does not work for "external" events. I can download the ics, but can not copy event from "read only" calendar.
