UserDefined fields/values in iCal.  (#10598)
Issue

I would love to have the ability where if you add a user defined field for adding events to the Calendar, they would also get added to the iCal feed.

For example, we have implemented a UserDefined field so that users can add a "Department" when adding a new event.  The only issue is that this UserDefined field/value pair do not get exported with the iCal feed.  This is a disappointment, especially because we would like to have many calendars feed to one master calendar that displays all events from all departments sub-calendars.  Currently everything feeds over correctly except for the fact that our Department field/value do not feed.

I appreciate any help that can be given towards this request!

The ical spec doesn't allow for user defined fields. These are the fields that are allowed:

  class  created  description  dtstart  geo
       last-modified  location  organizer  priority
       dtstamp  sequence  status  summary  transp
       uid  url  recurrence-id

And these fields may each be added multiple times to the same event:

    attach  attendee  categories  comment
       contact  exdate  exrule  request-status  related-to
       resources  rdate  rrule  

Would you like to modify your RFE to include something specific about these fields, or would you like to close your RFE?

The spec allows for "x-whatever" fields though, which we use in WebGUI to transfer groupIdView and groupIdEdit variables. We could use them to transfer the userdefinedX fields to other webgui servers.

Interesting, I had not seen that in the spec. Very cool. In that case, Approved.
