      Issue Summary

      When a field runs long, ics syntax dictates that the field will continue on a new line after beginning with a space (see lines 13, 46, 55 for examples in sample-failure.ics). Team Calendars fails to read this notation.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to Calendars
      2. Select Ellipsis (...) next to Add Calendar
      3. Import Calendar
      4. Attach sample-failure.ics

      Expected Results

      Team Calendars will read in the ics file.

      Actual Results

      "The uploaded data does not seem to be iCalendar content" error presented and the upload fails.

      Notes

      • sample-failure.ics tested to successfully import into Apple Calendars and Outlook
      • Also reproduces via Subscribe by URL

      Workaround

      • Remove space and new line manually to make field all on one line (see attached sample-success.ics)
