Sync option Google Default Reminder not using default for full day Appointment #1189

Open SVNKoch opened 3 years ago

SVNKoch commented 3 years ago

OGCS Version: v2.8.6.0 Edition: Portable
Sync Direction: O->G Outlook: 2016 - Microsoft MS365

Bug Description
I have Sync configured as: What:

[x] Reminders
[x] Use Google Default

I then created the following Meeting in Outlook: grafik [full day event]

My Google Calendar Notification Settings are the following: grafik [normal appointments: 5 and 10 minutes before; full day appointments: day before at 21:35]

However the created appointment in google has the following reminders: grafik [two reminders 5 and 10 minutes before midnight]

Thus they don't use the default full day reminder settings but rather the normal one.

Maybe related to #366?

This appears to be a bug/shortcoming of the Google API.

When reminders.usedefault=true it always takes the non-all day calendar setting(s) in Google
When manually setting an Event in the web calendar for an all-day item, reminders.usefault=false and the reminders.overrides[] is set "manually" by the web front end
When retrieving the settings for the calendar, it only returns the non-all day reminders.

Therefore, as of v1.40.2.1643 for Google.Apis.Calendar.v3 this is not supported.

After the next beta release I can revisit this to check if later DLLs provide enhanced functionality.

Unfortunately, v1.54.0.2410 is still behaving the same way.

I have added a comment to a Google bugtracker for this, so will have to wait and see...
