Importing ics into a caldav calendar

more options

I am trying to import a ics file into thunderbird. If I specify a local calendar as the destination calendar, the import works. However, if I specify a caldav-connected calendar as the destination, the import starts but never completes, and I always see an import status of 0%. I have tried importing into calendars from different caldav providers, but in all cases, the import fails. I would greatly appreciate your feedback. For me, this import is a convenient way to semi-automatically populate a web calendar.

Chosen solution

I found an incomplete but solution to the problem myself. You need to edit the ics file to the minimum possible number of fields and then the import will be possible. The question can be considered closed. BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.1//EN VERSION:2.0 NAME: ExportCalendar X-WR-CALNAME:ExportCalendar BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY: RRULE: DTSTART; DTEND; END:VEVENT
