Summary of the issue you are facing:
When trying to add new Attendees to a event in a Group calendar, people in the Address Book show up as potential Attendees (e.g. when typing part of thair name.) However local accounts never show up, even when typing part, or full local names, or when simply clicking in the drop down Attendees field.
A calendar is created in my account. It is shared with a Group. (The Group has members that belong to it, e.g. MemberA, MemberB, MemberC)
An event is created in the calendar, and More Details clicked to access the Attendees field. Clicking the dropdown shows No Results. Typing a local username (e.g. MemberA) does not find MemberA. Typing part of names in the address book will show them as potential Attendees.
It is therefore impossible to add local users as event attendees.
Local users DO have an email address set in their account. However even typing this email address does not find the local user.
Expected Behaviour:
Tying a local username (or at least clicking the dropdown) should offer local users as potential Attendees.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
A new calendar is created in my account.
-
The calendar is shared to a Group. (Group members can see and interact with the calendar.)
-
A new event is added to the calendar.
-
Click More Details to access the Attendees fields
-
Click on the field, or type a local username in part or full.
-
Nothing appears.

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted textformatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
