Keep reminders when updating events

[jordanbtucker]

When an event is updated, it does not retain any reminders previously added to it.

For example:

1. Sync an ICS with a Google Calendar.
2. Add a reminder to an event.
3. Sync the ICS again after that event was changed in the ICS.
4. Note that the event in the Google Calendar has its reminders removed.

I'd like to request a feature where reminders added to a Google Calendar event stay with that event even after being updated by a sync. This likely only makes sense when addAlerts is set to false.

In Helpers.gs:

• in line 222 replace Calendar.Events.update with Calendar.Events.patch

• comment out/remove lines 389-394 and (if you have it) lines 424-427.

Sync with addAlerts = false.
Let me know if that's the behavior you are looking for.

@jonas0b1011001 Thanks. I already did something similar that worked.

I added the following line between lines 221 and 222 and set addAlerts to false.

newEvent.reminders = calendarEvents[index].reminders;

This is a little more narrow in scope than patch because I was just targeting reminders. But I could see how it could be useful to patch the event to maintain any other information added to an event that isn't in the ICS, not just reminders.
