How to batch-edit calendar events (move to another calendar + assign category) ?
Hello. I need to move >1000 calendar events from calendar "medical" to my "home" calendar and (at one go) assign the category "medical":
from [calendar: "medical" / category: none] --> to [calendar: "home" / category: "medical"]
How can I do this ?

Doesn't Thunderbird provide any means to do this ?
Unfortunately, Thunderbird’s calendar UI doesn’t currently support bulk moving events between calendars with category assignment in one step.
If you wanted to try a workaround, you could to download the ics file and then edit the entries contained therein to have categories:medical included before re-importing the file to the desired calendar in thunderbird.
I hope this helps!

@Thundamike : Thanks so much for your help.
I am afraid that not all data is preserved during the export-reimport process. (At a minimum time_created
and last_modified
will be lost. Probably more.)
Therefore, I would rather solve this inside Thunderbird, if possible.

If it is not possible "in one step", could it be done in 2 steps one after the other ?
i.e. (1) from [calendar: "medical"] --> [calendar: "home"] (2) from [category: "none"] --> [category: "medical"]
?
