Hi All,
I've been discussing this topic with some other people on the Calendar team. One suggestion was to just allow participants to update events and assume they only want to change their local copy. If the creator of the event changes something, then everyone's copy would reflect the changes. I think this mimics the functionality in the UI, but I'd have to do some testing. For example, what happens (in the UI) when a participant changes something locally, and then the creator updates the same field?
Do you think assuming participant changes are local is any better or worse than using an override flag?

I agree with Charlie,
For instance if I want to change my status from attending to cancelled it would be nice if I can do this from the API, and have everyone else know I have cancelled as an attendee.
I would also like to maybe add just a few notes for myself with the meeting. For instance, I have a meeting with the CEO at 11 am Friday, I need to remember to bring some coffee and doughnuts, this might not be soemthing that everyone needs to see who was listed as an attendee but it would be nice to be able to edit just my version.
So the abiltity to set a flag saying edit only my copy or if I want to make the changes that everyone can view, which maybe can be limited to just status ofattendees.
Just a thought,
Mike

Lane,
I think the API should allowattendeesto change copies of such events like the UI does, even if that means that an "override" flag has to be set to force the change.

Hi Mike,
While the Google Calendar web application will let you "make changes that will only be reflected" on theattendeescalendar, the data API doesn't currently support this. The web app prompts the user to make sure they know the event will only be changed on their calendar -- What do you think the equivalent would be in the data API?
FWIW, you'll get the error you mentioned whenever a user tries to update an event that they are not the author of, so you could check if the user is the author before attempting to update the event.
Cheers, Lane

Does anyon ehave a workaround yet? Maybe someway to edit just that instance of the event? Or can we at least know which events have this rule set before we try to edit?

This is an issue from such a long time and it has not been fixed yet. I think
Google Services should atleast allow the changes of any fields in the personal
calendar atleast as you mentioned.
I am receiving this error when I make a change to an event created in someone elses calendar and I am listed as anattendee. I have accepted teh event and it now exists in my personnal calendar. When I make a minor change to the event (add some notes to the description), and try to update the event on Google I get the following error.
com.google.calendar.server.CalendarPermissionException:Participant cannotoverrideattendees!
at com.google.gdata.client.http.HttpGDataRequest.handleErrorResponse(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.http.GoogleGDataRequest.handleErrorResponse(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.http.HttpGDataRequest.checkResponse(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.http.HttpGDataRequest.execute(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.http.GoogleGDataRequest.execute(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.Service.update(Unknown Source) at com.google.gdata.client.GoogleService.update(Unknown Source)
I know when I try to change this event on GCal directly I am informed that the changes would only be reflected in my calendar. Is there a flag that needs to be set for this to behave in the same way through the API?
Any help would be appreciated.
