[Request] Modify All-Day Event Free/Busy Availability to be "Free" for All-Day events

[mtemple]

What is the best way to modify the script so that when it updates new All-Day events (duration = 24hrs), the all day event is listed as "Free" instead of "Busy". Google's default all-day value is to set it as Free, but the calendar I'm trying to subscribe to for some reason creates the ALL-DAY events as default BUSY.

Would this also work so that previous All-Day events that are "Free" that later are scheduled with a time (no longer all-day) are changed/reverted back to "Busy"?

Google's default all-day value is to set it as Free

I don't think that's true, the API docs list busy as standard value.

I'd suggest changing

GAS-ICS-Sync/Helpers.gs

Lines 479 to 483 in f5c8eb5

	if (event.hasProperty('transp')){
	var transparency = event.getFirstPropertyValue('transp').toString().toLowerCase();
	if(["opaque", "transparent"].indexOf(transparency) > -1)
	newEvent.transparency = transparency;
	}

to

  if (icalEvent.startDate.isDate){
    newEvent.transparency = "transparent";
  }
  else if (event.hasProperty('transp')){
    var transparency = event.getFirstPropertyValue('transp').toString().toLowerCase();
    if(["opaque", "transparent"].indexOf(transparency) > -1)
      newEvent.transparency = transparency;
  }

After the edit, force a resync by syncing to a different target calendar.

Thanks - I'll try that out and see what happens / report back!

This is why I thought the all-day value is default set to Free. When making a new all-day event directly in gCal it shows the event's transparency value as "Free"

I assume this is resolved / no longer relevant. Closing.
