>>> When I change an event in my calendar and I have to change

>> It sounds like what you are trying to do is accept/add this event  
>> on your own calendar as if you were one of the original attendees,  
>> but without actually being one.
> Yes, that's true. But this also holds if I am an original attendee  
> and make a copy of an event and put that into a shared calendar.
>>
>> That being said, I could see adding an extra step when the event  
>> being copied still contains attendees - to verify that you really  
>> want to copy the event with the attendees or not.
> Yes, that would be really helpful. Maybe something like the question  
> that shows up when I modify an event with attendees. Kronolith asks  
> if I want to send the modifications to all attendees after  
> submitting the modifications.

Please create an enhancement request on bugs.horde.org.
