I am sending emails to Outlook with ICS attachments. In the ICS file, I am declaring a recurring series with EXDATEs and calendar seems to be updated correctly.

For an event with,

EXDATE:20221124T140000Z,20221125T140000Z   
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;UNTIL=20221126T140000Z  
DTSTART:20221123T140000Z  
DTEND:20221123T170000Z    

days are marked as 23rd Nov and 26th Nov, which is correct.

When I try to update this event to days 23rd, 24th and 26th Nov, I am sending another email with

EXDATE:20221125T140000Z   

but the calendar is not updated with dates. I confirmed the calendar updates other details like event summary or description but fails to update the EXDATE if the date is between the start and end date. Appending or removing an event from the start or end also updates the dates correctly.

Why I am trying to do this?

I am trying to send calendar invites for events that do not have pattern but still behave as a series. To do that I am creating a daily recurring event starting from the first event and ending on the last one, marking the days without events as EXDATEs. I am also open to suggestions if there is a better way to do this in calendars.
