Recurring Calendar Entries

[Antony Street]

I wanted to add repeating calendar entries to our student's calendars. Looking at the GAM Cheatsheet, I noticed the 'recurrence' option. I cannot find any documentation about this option and so I wondered if this option truly exists, and if so, what are the valid arguments? Does it even do what the name suggests to me?

Adding the option without any arguments gives:

astreet@gam:~/GAutomate/Calendar$ gam calendar x...@domain.net addevent location "D6" summary "Form Class" description "TIMETABLE::STREETEM::MONDAY::MODULE1" start 2016-11-14T00:45:00.000Z end 2016-11-14T01:00:00.000Z noreminders recurrence

I have tried adding options like 'Weekly', 1 and others but they all give an error:

ERROR: 400: Invalid Value - invalid

If anyone has any knowledge on this, it would be ever appreciated.

UPDATE:

Reading the RFC at https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.8.5 I tested adding:

recurrence "RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=10"

This successfully added a weekly recurrence for 10 weeks.
