      Summary

      When a Team Calendar is exported to an .ics file and subsequently imported into a new instance (or the same instance), all Event Types are automatically set to an "Enabled" (checked) state. Any specific configurations where an Event Type was globally disabled or hidden via user UI preferences are lost.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Create a Team Calendar in Confluence with multiple custom Event Types.
      • Disable one or more Event Types globally (via Edit Calendar > Event Types) or uncheck them in the sidebar to hide them from the UI.
      • Export the calendar to an .ics file using the Export to iCalendar feature.
      • Import that same .ics file into a different Confluence instance (or delete the original and re-import it into the same instance).
      • Observe the state of the Event Types in the newly imported calendar.

      Expected Results

      The Event Types should maintain the state they had in the source calendar (e.g., if an Event Type was disabled/unchecked, it should remain disabled/unchecked after import).

      Actual Results

      All Event Types are automatically re-enabled and checked by default. Any previous configuration regarding hidden or disabled event types is lost.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
