<![CDATA[Missing feature: custom recurrence patterns]]>In thunderbird, there is the possibility to create custom patterns for repeating appointments. Every first monday of a month, there is the mautic community meetup. Easy to set in thunderbird. The moment I sync to calendar, it goes to 1. of a month, which is wrong.

I am refactoring the new event dialog though as it got quite a bit complex with the various RRULE combinations.

The work item is https://git.cloudron.io/apps/calendar/-/work_items/40

I assume Thunderbird has this working.

I hope nebulon has a Thunderbird client installed on one of his test laptops. 🙂

All right. Create a new calendar (iCal export), create the appointments, and export/save this calendar as an .ics file.

haha. 🙂 [ical export.ics](Invalid file type .ics. Allowed types are: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .webm, .mp4, .jpeg)

Normally, I've been creating custom recurrence patterns in Thunderbird. With SOGo, for example, everything works as expected. But as soon as I switch to my new default calendar (the Cloudron calendar app), it just turns into it's own rules. (instead of first tuesday every month, it creates something like: Occurs 4 of every month effective 8/4/26 until 10/30/26 from 16:00 to 17:00.)
