Stop Edits to Imported Events Being Overwritten by Feed Refresh
-
Events imported by the automatic Facebook feed are always missing some small details (like venue name and organiser details)
However, if I add these details in to the imported event they are overwritten the next time the feed refreshes.
Is there a way to keep my changes, or stop the feed from refreshing edited events?

Hi,
Our calendar recognizes events that are imported as being “owned” by someone else. Therefore, when the feed automatically refresh, it’s always going to overwrite the existing events. This ensures you are importing any updates, edited events or new events that have been added by the “owner.”
As a workaround you can add a feed, delete the feed, and select “Keep Events” when prompted. Now the calendar will recognize these events as being “owned” by you. Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer receive updated events since you are no longer subscribed to the feed.
We have a “Preserve changes made to events retrieved from feeds” option with which it is possible to save the changes, but is only available in the Hosted Hub calendar.
Thanks,
Ben
