Team Calendar add event assigning to random user
Asked by Tom Porter:

We are using the Team Calendars Plugin v 5.3.10 on Confluence 5.10.8.

When I add a new event on my personal calendar, if I leave the "Who" field blank and create the event, when I see the event on my calendar, it is assigned to a random user (not me, and not always the same other user). If I do the same thing and put my own user in the "who" field, after it is created it is now assigned to me and another random user.

I can't find any other question here that addresses this issue -- is this a known issue?

body: Tom,

Could you show me an example of what this looks like? Are you testing with only Team Calendar or are you viewing the calendar through another application as well?

I just tested this on both 5.3.10 and 5.3.20 but was not able to replicate the problem. I'm using the regular **Events** event type.

You should also be aware that Team Calendar 5.3.10 is not compatible with Confluence 5.10.8. I would also recommend upgrading to at least 5.3.11, preferably the most recent version, 5.3.20.

Regards,

Shannon

Here's what I'm seeing:

Click the "Add Event" button...

Fill out the form using the default event type and leaving the "Who" field empty. Then click ok.

The event is created but assigned to a user:

...here's a view of the details:

If I do the same thing and put a user (like myself) in the "who" field, it will tack on a second random user so that the event has my name and the random user's as well.

Note: I just found out that we should be able to upgrade to version 5.3.11 of the Calendar plugin (we can't do better than that due to license/budget issues). That should happen tonight, so we will see if that fixes the issue tomorrow.

body: Even though Shannon mentioned the add-on was incompatible, I installed Confluence 5.10.8 with Team Calendars 5.3.10 for testing. I was not able to reproduce the issue. I was confronted with this giant warning:

![Screen Shot 2017-12-06 at 10.09.15 AM.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/10517iD0657E5552A6A857/image-dimensions/438x216?v=v2 "Screen Shot 2017-12-06 at 10.09.15 AM.png")

Since Team Calendars 5.3.10 was developed for a previous version, it's not surprising that there is some unexpected behavior, however, I wonder if some browser extension could be causing the names to auto populate. Do you have a cleanly installed browser or the opportunity to run a browser with extensions disabled to test this possibility?

I am disappointed to hear that your license won't allow you to upgrade past Team Calendars 5.3.11 as quite a few bugs have been fixed since 5.3.11: [Version history](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.extra.team-calendars/versions)

body: I guess it will have to remain a mystery :) We upgraded to 5.3.11 and the problem went away. So we're good for now. Thanks for your help!!!
