Please help us by providing the following info. Before posting please also check the pinned "Known issues" threads and make sure that you're running the latest available version for your oC release: https://owncloud.org/changelog/

Steps to reproduce
1. Create an ICS file containing (among others) appointments in the future (i.e. later than toda)
2. Inport that ICS file into OwnCliud calendar app
3. See if the appointments in the future are visible in the calendar app or not.

Expected behaviour
All appointments from the ICS file should be visible in the canlendar app.

Actual behaviour
All appoimtments are visible until (and including) today. Appointments in the future (from tomorrow on and later) are missing.

Can you try the .ics on a fresh install of the Appliance linked here:

https://owncloud.org/install/#edition

It also worth to update to 9.1.1 as explained in the template you have filled out. This should always be done before reporting any issues here or at the bugtracker.

I found a work-around.
I noticed that all appointments were "tentative" whereas appointments I created on OwnCloud are "confirmed". I patched the ICS file such that all "tentative" were changed to "confirmed", and then the import worked.
Apparently OwnCloud does not import "tentative" future appointments. "tentative" appointments in the past are imported, though,
Is that expected behavior?

Hi,

nice catch. Care to report an issue in https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues about that? Some one there might be able to tell you if this is a expected behavior, a bug in core (then it stays open there) or a bug in the calendar app itself (then you get pointed to the calendar repository).

should be working: https://github.com/owncloud/calendar/issues/419
Also verify if you are using a current version of the calendar-app, the current version should be 1.3.3.

Maybe only the GUI part was implemented there and the one implemented that functionality forgot to implement it in the import functionality?
