Static event_id or removing "Edit Recurring Event"

    I did not realize that, when users update/edit their recurring events, EM deletes all previously existing events and recreates new events, with new event_ids. I was using the event_id to track attendance at events, which was lost when the event_id changed after users edited their recurring events (e.g., extended the date range.) Frustrating. Is there a way to keep the original event_id when edits are made to recurring events? If not, is there a way to disable the “Edit Recurring Event” feature on the page where users can edit the events they have submitted?

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    SO, for now, to hide the option for editing recurring events, I simply commented out this line in templates/tables/event.php

    <a href="<?php /* echo esc_url($EM_Event->get_edit_reschedule_url()); ?>"><?php _e ( 'Edit Recurring Events', 'events-manager'); */?></a>`

    Not a perfect solution. Ideally, it would be better to allow editing and maintain a static event_id. Possible?

    at the moment Recurring events is already set for a major update to fix this issues however no eta yet due to other stuff which needs to be done first.

    Angelo – checking in on the updates to recurring events. Have an ETA yet? The non-static ID is killing me! ??
