How to handle cancellations on individual reoccurring events?
I have a simple bot to clone events and announce them. a new partnership now uses reoccurring events, so i got to fix them today. I had to notice today tho that DJS does not handle cancellations of individual events, unless i don't quite understand how that works. So before I open up a feature request, I was curious, if i was missing something.
I tried checking for GuildScheduledEvent#isCanceled but that does not work and canceling the whole event calls a different event (guildScheduledEventDelete) and not guildScheduledEventUpdate.
But from what I can see on the GuildScheduledEvent - Structure in the docs it doesn't seem to have any fields related to these kinds of edge cases.

This is a small utility bot that listens for events on a server to create and update them on other servers. - FlippedCodes/event-cloner

- ✅ Marked as resolved by OPjust to elaborate from the api's perspective, a single scheduled event refers to the entire series of events, so cancelling it cancels all of them
they handle events in series through a "recurrence rule" (accessible through djs from
<GuildScheduledEvent>.recurrenceRule) which only determines how often the event recurs
recurrence rules were only documented (and implemented in djs) within the last year, but the ability to cancel single iterations of the event recurring is recent enough that it has yet to be documented in the api
djs only implements documented features, so djs does not currently support cancelling single iterations of an eventyea makes sense... so i guess its in discords hands when its going to be a thing for bots to access. thanks for the clarification and your time ^^
