Introduction

In this article, we will be discussing an issue with presence status updates in Nextcloud, where the status display is not accurate. The problem arises when a user accepts an invitation to a meeting, but the status in the calendar view remains "Wait for answer" instead of updating to "Invitation accepted". This issue is not only frustrating but also makes it difficult for users to track the status of their meetings.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Create an appointment: Create a new appointment in your Nextcloud calendar.
Add attendee to meeting: Add an attendee to the meeting by sending them an invitation.
Click accept button in mail: The attendee receives the invitation and clicks the "Accept" button in their email client.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the creator of the appointment receives a confirmation message "accepted" and the presence status in the calendar view of the appointment updates to "Invitation accepted" (DE: "Einladung angenommen").

Actual Behavior

However, the actual behavior is that the creator of the appointment receives a confirmation message "accepted", but the presence status in the calendar view of the appointment remains "Wait for answer" (DE: "Warte auf Antwort"). In some cases, the status may even show "Invitation declined" (DE: "Einladung abgelehnt") for an already accepted appointment.
