    Description

      Hello!

      When using default Holiday event problem is caused if someone else is entering holiday for you. For example in our case manager entered holidays for team members.

      In Confluence person in question is shown correctly (even avatar in timeline mode) and there's no information shown who originally entered that event.

      But when showing same calendar in Outlook actual person who is on holiday isn't shown at all. Instead, person who entered event is shown.

      So this feature is quite useless for showing who's on holiday when looking from Outlook.

      Most probably mapping of person used in Outlook and Team Calendars should be fixed? I guess now person field for Outlook is "originator" instead of "person who is on holiday". Like there is such assumption that everyone enters their holidays by themselves

      Case is shown in attachments. Some entered their holidays by themselves and it's ok in Outlook. But I think it's still quite normal that someone else could enter whole team's holidays, for example in team meeting.

      If it's just mapping those person fields, this should be quite easy to fix, right?

      Thanks!
