Feature request: option to only sync calendar event time start and time end

[ahcheing]

It would be great if folks could specify which specific elements of the calendar events they would like to sync. It would be great if I could make a calendar event on a secure calendar, filled with sensitive information, and then see a "blank" calendar event pop up for the same time slot on a much less secure public facing calendar.

I use nextclouds appointment calendar system so people can schedule meetings with me. The app looks through exsisting calendar events to determine which default slots to present to the user who wants to schedual the meeting.

IE, if someone wants to meet with me, they can schedual a meeting where the 1am, 12pm, 1pm. But if I already have a calendar event at 12:30, the 12 and 1 slots wont be availible. This is essential to prevent double booking and conflicts.

The problem is there are many calendars I use which have events / meetings that contain a great deal of sensitive info, info which is too sensitive to be synced to the public nextcloud instance. But to make calendar appointments work, the nextcloud calendar needs to have those slots filled with something. Currently I have to go through and manually add a bunch of blank busy events, despite having a bunch of neat syncing tools like vdirsyncer.

This sounds like needing to apply a transformation to items during sync. I’m sure that it’s been mentioned before. It’s unlikely to happen in the current implementation. The ongoing rewrite might provide the building blocks for this.

Yes, this is precisely what I am requesting. I am perpetually envious of others ability to succinctly distil a message that takes me several paragraphs to communicate.

Fair enough, thanks for all the work you do!
