Outlook cannot fully import calendar feed

  • Hi,

    We have noticed that when we use the export or feed for eventsthe recurring events import well as long as they are on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.

    In the ical file for the export this is in the RRULE.

    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID:[email protected]
    STATUS:CONFIRMED
    DTSTAMP:20240116T150329Z
    CREATED:20240107T203022Z
    LAST-MODIFIED:20240107T203316Z
    DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240114T100000
    DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240114T113000
    RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=SU;UNTIL=20240324T090000Z

    However when we select multiple dates for an event where the dates are not on a regular interval outlook and other programs cannot import the data correctly and skip these events.

    In this case the ical file looks as follows;

    BEGIN:VEVENT
    UID:[email protected]
    STATUS:CONFIRMED
    DTSTAMP:20240116T150329Z
    CREATED:20240114T104336Z
    LAST-MODIFIED:20240114T105320Z
    DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240117T193000
    DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240117T203000
    EXDATE;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240114T193000
    RDATE;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20240117T193000,20240124T193000,20240131T193000,20240214T193000,20240221T193000,20240228T193000,20240313T193000,20240320T193000,20240327T193000,20240410T193000,20240417T193000,20240424T193000,20240508T193000,20240515T193000,20240522T193000,20240529T193000,20240612T193000,20240619T193000,20240626T193000,20240710T193000,20240717T193000,20240724T193000,20240731T193000

    The last line (RDATE) does contain all the selected starting dates/times. But it cannot be read by other programs. Could this be because the period/duration is not given?

    Or is it perhaps impossible to export correctly for recurring events on an irregular basis?
