    Description

      When importing an .ics file with a recurrent event which has no end set (i.e. it will recur forever), fullcalendar sets a hardcoded limit of 5 years for event recurrence.

      This can cause issues when recurrent events are older (like birthdays being defined starting with the date of birth, like 1996-04-02), in which case the events are imported, but don't show up in the calendar view (since fullcalendar makes them stop after 5 years, instead of recurring infinetly).

      A workaround for this is to edit the XWiki pages which contain the Events, removing the `Last occurrence of the event` field.

      Example .ics file:

      BEGIN:VCALENDAR
      PRODID:Recurrent infinity
      VERSION:2.0
      CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
      X-WR-CALNAME:Recurrent infinity
      BEGIN:VEVENT
      RRULE:FREQ=DAILY
      UID:0000
      DTSTAMP:20260414T150713Z
      DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:19960101
      DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19960102
      SUMMARY:Daily event
      END:VEVENT
      END:VCALENDAR
