Upon re-importing from a Google Calendar, our Additional Field values are removed, even though Import Authority is set to ‘Preserve local changes’.<\/p>\n

Steps to Replicate<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set up Import Authority to ‘Preserve local changes’<\/li>\n
  2. Run an import from a Google Calendar<\/li>\n
  3. Navigate to the event. Set an Additional Field value.<\/li>\n
  4. Refresh to confirm that the Additional Field value has persisted.<\/li>\n
  5. In a separate tab, re-run the import from Step 2.<\/li>\n
  6. Navigate back to the event tab and hit Refresh<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Expected<\/strong>: Additional Field value persists
    \nActual<\/strong>: Additional Field value is missing<\/p>\n

    Let me know if you can replicate this behavior on your end. I am hopeful there is some way to make this work, as we are currently importing events from our several global offices, and Additional Fields are crucial for sorting and filtering event types – however many local admins are asking for rescheduling to filter through to our global calendar, so we want to use ‘Persist local changes’ instead of ‘Do not re-import’ (which we were using before).<\/p>\n
