Context: When using the *.ics URL from Canvas Calendar, faculty have noticed that some events do not appear in Outlook's calendar. In examining the *.ics sourcefile, I believe I've discovered a correlation:
Events successfully appear in Outlook when their DTSTART and DTEND fields are formatted as follows:
- DTSTART:20211021T150000Z
- DTEND:20211021T180000Z
Events fail to appear in Outlook when their DTSTART and DTEND fields are formatted as follows:
- DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211020T000000
- DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211020T000000
My 3 questions to the community:
- Has anyone else encountered this problem with Outlook Calendar? (Google Calendar seems to handle things just fine.)
- Has anyone else noticed the above correlation, or is there another explanation?
- Has anyone got a ready fix? 🙂
