A user received a Gmail calendar invite for a two day event. After accepting it he now has calendar entries for every day from the invite dates until end 2013.
When he tries to delete the event it only allows him to delete one instance/day at a time.
Is there any way to remove all of the instances at the same time from his calendar?
Subject: Use another view
Look in the List-type views to find all copies - Entries and Notices, Grouped entries, etc will allow you to select multiple entries.
Subject: Same problem with other views
In Entries and Notices if I select one entry it selects all the instances but when I try to delete them it still asks which single instance do I want to delete.
Similar problem in Grouped Entries and Calendar Entries.
Subject: Agent to remove $ICAL_COMPATIBILITY_MODE
You are triggering compatibility mode, which essentially says that the client you are sending workflow to cannot handle multiple instance workflow. We did revisit how this should work on cancels and it sounds like we need to check how it works for invitees as well…In any event, you can resolve this by running an agent to remove the $ICAL_COMPATIBILITY_MODE item on the meeting documents.

Subject: $ICAL_COMPATIBILITY_MODE?
I’ve had a quick look around the Net and in Lotus Help for this, the info is thin on the ground. I’m sure I could write something to step through each calendar doc and change the value but what view should I use and what value disables the comparability (0?)?
Subject: Solved
Created a toolbar button with this code:@SetField(“$ICAL_COMPATIBILITY_MODE”;0)
Opened up the first meeting in Edit mode, clicked the button, saved the doc.
Deleted the doc and was given the usual 4 choices. Selected “This instance and all future instances”.
Thanks to all for the clues.
