Google Calendar API: Display Name doesn't work

Question

I am faced with a strange problem: displayName property is not applied/saved on event level. Here is a link to the API documentation: https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/events

I fill in the displayName for the organizer and attendee in the event and then save this event. But in emails displayName is nowhere showing. I expect to see it ideally in the email as <{DisplayName}>@organizer email. That's an issue I am trying to solve but I see it nowhere at all. I read this event from google calendar using event id. And there's no property displayName in organizer and attendees fields.

I double checked and I use v3 of the Calendar API, so I believe I am checking documentation for the same API version I use in the code.

Answer 1

I understand that you create a Events resource and want to get the values for organizer.displayName and attendees[].displayName. In that case, then everything is working as described. In the Events resource it is stated that those properties are subject to disponibility. Also, in the case of attendees[].displayName, it is optional too. Both properties are writable, so ideally you could include them in your requests. Please, ask me any additional doubts.
