Question

Given a child event, how can I find it's parent?

Background

We're working on a terminated user tool. One component of that is transferring future events for that user to their replacement. For child events (events a user was added as an invitee for) we'd like to remove them as an invitee and add their replacement as an invitee.

If an invitee is added to an event a new event is created with invitee as the owner and the isChild flag is set to true. However, based on the Event docs there there isn't a parentId field I can find that links the child event to the parent. What am I missing?

Its a bit confusing, but I think the EventRelation is the key. The child Event will have an EventRelation record with the EventId equal to the Parent Event and the RelationId for each User.

    I don't believe EventRelation can help here. For a meeting (parent) with multiple attendees you will have multiple EventRelation objects with eventId=parentId and relationId=userId (attendee). There wont be any EventRelation objects linking to any child events. Any other ideas? – user8225 May 29 '14 at 22:32
