Create a recurring event, ('everyday', at 12pm-1pm, using resource 
'Conference Room').
On one day, change the resource for that day to 'Auditorium'.
Now, all past and future events have no resource allocated to them, 
but the resources own calendar shows all events in the recurring set 
have the new resource ('Auditorium').
That would be a bug. Please create a separate ticket for this.

This is expected behavior. Events are tied to calendars, no matter 
if this is a single event or a recurring event including exceptions. 
You cannot spread different instances of a recurring event across 
different calendars.
Thank you for clarifying this. That does indeed sound more logical.
You may rather want to look into the resources feature of Kronolith 
where you can assign resources like facilities to events. IIRC it's 
possible to have different resources for event exceptions. Resources 
can also be displayed as regular calendars, so there really is no 
need to create a real calendar for those.
I've been investigating the resources feature of Kronolith today, and 
I'll be urging my users to use it too. There appears to be a problem 
with editing a recurring event with an attached resource though. For 
example:

Create a recurring event, ('everyday', at 12pm-1pm, using resource 
'Conference Room').
On one day, change the resource for that day to 'Auditorium'.
Now, all past and future events have no resource allocated to them, 
but the resources own calendar shows all events in the recurring set 
have the new resource ('Auditorium').

Many thanks,

Tim

Example 1:
Create 2 additional calendars: Test1 and Test2
Create recurring daily event on Test1
Edit a single event of the recurring series by changing the calendar 
it's on (from Test1 to Test2).
Every event is now on Test2 instead of the single event chosen initially.

Example 2:
Create an additional calendar: Test1
Create recurring daily event on Test1
Delete a single event of the recurring series
Event appears to be deleted, but re-appears on next page refresh.
This is a very basic use case as used a thousand times daily on every 
Kronolith installation on the world without problems. There must be 
other conditions making this fail.
Real use:
We use a seperate calendar for some of our facilities (dance hall, 
auditorium, sports hall etc), and sometimes a recurring event needs 
to happen in a different location for a one-off session. We can't 
move an event from one location to another because of this problem. 
No errors are reported on screen, but no confirmations are either 
when we try it.

Hello,

When editing a recurring event for the users' default calendar, all 
works perfectly. However, if you edit a single event of a recurring 
series for an additional calendar, the changes are not propagated 
properly.

Example 1:
Create 2 additional calendars: Test1 and Test2
Create recurring daily event on Test1
Edit a single event of the recurring series by changing the calendar 
it's on (from Test1 to Test2).
Every event is now on Test2 instead of the single event chosen initially.

Example 2:
Create an additional calendar: Test1
Create recurring daily event on Test1
Delete a single event of the recurring series
Event appears to be deleted, but re-appears on next page refresh.

Real use:
We use a seperate calendar for some of our facilities (dance hall, 
auditorium, sports hall etc), and sometimes a recurring event needs to 
happen in a different location for a one-off session. We can't move an 
event from one location to another because of this problem. No errors 
are reported on screen, but no confirmations are either when we try it.

Many thanks,

Tim
