Currently in every ( major ) calendar application out there: Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook there is a way ( once someone sends a calendar invite ) to suggest another time. In Mozilla Thunderbird Lightening this is not possible.

Today, you have to message whoever sent a calendar invite and ask them to change it and this is a lengthy and many clicks waste of time effort. Lightening should be like any other package: 

  - ( check mark ) Accept, 
  - ( question mark ) Tentative : with a drop down for propose reschedule  and then allow for a date and start time & end time change which can be sent back to the creator only. 
  - ( X mark ) Decline 
  - ( ! mark ) Propose Alternative

Without this functionality changing meeting times with Thunderbird Lightening is VERY time consuming!

How long will it take to see this basic functionality in the next version of Thunderbird Lightening. Can't believe in 2021 such a piece of functionality is not standard.

don't know why the formatting is the way it is above with some strange scroll bar so I'll repost the details from the above here.

I created an event at a set time and invited an attendee, who received the invitation. Then, I changed the time, saved and closed the event, and the attendee received another invitation with Updated: <name of event>. Am I missing something?
