We are planning to upgrade Confluence to latest version 5.9.5. Mandate is we need to have Team Calendar 5.3.9+ to be compatible with this Wiki version.

With this annoying feature TEAMCAL-3147, one has to have Wiki Space associated to given Calendar. (Can anyone tell me, why there should be relation, why can't we make it optional)

And the trouble is if we want to associate the Wiki Space with calendar, it just doesn't accept the Wiki Space name or Wiki Key. Wiki throws error saying "No Space Found". Quick investigation reveals that internally it uses rest api call like this

https://<wiki-instance>/rest/prototype/1/search/name.json?max-results=5&pageSize=5&type=spacedesc%2Cpersonalspacedesc&query=queryterm

As you can see, API calls searches in Space Description rather than Space Key or Space Name, which in my opinion is not set by most teams (at least that is the case in our company)

I've also confirmed that by updating space description, it does work. But the question why it's not very obvious in error description. or why not reterieve all three parameters (spacename, spacedesc and space name) and then make decision.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,
Raju
