well, it seems, we have a small communication problem, understanding the 
meaning of the words of each other ;)

As said, I selected the group "Projectors" in the calendar proposal to

I already wrote in another mail, that the amount might be a bit too 
complicated, therefore I reverted back to the bool field, "ignore conflicts"

fine with that, looking forward to the time when it will be implemented.
