      Issue Summary

      A ics file exported from outlook can be imported as a new calendar(Clicking ... in Team Calendar, and choosing 'Import calendar').
      However, it cannot be imported into existing calendar( using 'Import iCalendar' under existing calendars).

      If it is not supported, it should at least provide a proper warning message, instead of 'Field cannot be blank' from response.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Export an ics file from Outlook calendar
      2. Click Calendars from top menu
      3. Click Add Calendar and add a blank calendar
      4. Click [...] of the calendar, and select Import iCalendar
      5. Choose the ics file from Outlook, and import it

      Expected Results

      The events from ics file can be imported into the calendar.

      Actual Results

      Nothing happened.
      If check har file, you will find 'Field cannot be blank' from response.

      <html>
          <head></head>
          <body>
                          <div class="field-errors">
                                                                  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="Field cannot be blank">
                                                      </div>
              
              
              
              
          </body>
      </html>
      

      Workaround

      Adding X-WR-CALNAME header (example: X-WR-CALNAME:testcalendar) to the ical file seems to work.

      BEGIN:VCALENDAR
      X-WR-CALNAME:testcalendar 
      ....
      ....
