If I understand correctly, the iCal spec allows any arbitrary field name
to be defined in an event or todo/task item:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445#section-4.8.8.1
E.g. someone could define a field called `X-Budget' and presumably put
in some numeric currency value for each task
Can anyone comment on the practical issues of supporting this in DAViCal
and Lightning when they are used together? Are there any examples of
such custom fields already implemented?
Some of the specific things that come to mind:
- adding the field to the windows in Lightning
- ensuring that DAViCal will persist the field name and value in the
database - does the DB support arbitrary attribute/value pairs, or must
a new column be created for each X-<something>?
- making some kind of user accessible report based on custom fields (or
even reporting against the standard fields)
