Repeating Events: Delete/Edit "from now on"

[Peter Lairo]

I created several repeating events that have "no end date" (because I
didn't know how long the events would last).

Now the events have ended, and I would like to be able to select the
first no-longer-occurring event and delete all "future" events.

How can I perform this (not uncommon) action?

PS. I'm posting to both dev and support newsgroups because I don't know
if this is already possible (support) or if it's a bug (dev).

PPS. This important action is possible in the best PIM of all times:
Lotus Organizer

You can't. Workaround: Edit the full event series, change the Repeat
rule to Custom... and set the end date as wanted.

Thanks. That worked. :-)

I hope the calendar developers understand that this is merely a
workaround, and that this the ability to edit/delete "future" events is
important and needed.

I have filed bug 536865 to track this important feature.

Dang. That's a dupe of:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320178

I had searched for "repeating" and not for "recurring". :-\
