Summary

Users are unable to save their changes to a Single Occurrence of a Repeating Event they've edited within Team Calendars. The page refreshes and the change is reverted back to its original configuration. This only appears to affect Events which are repeating; single, non-repeating events can be edited.

Environment

• Confluence Server 6.4.1
• Team Calendars 5.5.4

Steps to Reproduce

1. On a Team Calendar, Create an event which has a repeat
2. Save Event
3. Edit one of the Events (either change it's title, date/time, Who, etc); ensure "Edit this instance only" is checked
4. Save Changes to event

Expected Results

The Single Event is updated with the new information

Actual Results

Calendar refreshes and change does not exist:

Workaround

1. Delete the Individual Calendar Event that needs to be Edited and create a new Event with the intended changes.
2. Exporting the .ical and import it back to Confluence did the trick
