Event Category & Organizer overlayed after import

[devdept]

We import events from a google calendar. We check an additional category and enter an organizer after this is imported. This information is being overlayed after the daily import runs.

I have the following setting checked: Preserve the most recent change in each event field, whether that change occurred on my site or at the original source.

Hi, Nick.

Sorry you’re experiencing this.

To be clear, your topic title said “overlayed”, which I initially thought meant “overlapping” (like a layout issue), but your explanation text makes it sound like you meant to say “overwriting” or “replacing” so I’ll assume “overlayed” was a typo… please correct me if I’m wrong…

Unfortunately, not respecting local changes for Venues and Organizers is a known bug, just like you described.

I’ll mark this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands now. They need to assign it, code it, test it, and schedule it for release.

I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Also, I saw you said the Event Category wasn’t being preserved, which is a separate bug. I’ve attached this thread to both of these internal bug reports.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
