When I create an event (with a notification) to a shared Family calendar, my spouse does not get notifications for these events. This is a significant deficiency. Is there a setting to correct this or is it a missing feature all together?
Unless you're just sharing a calendar and adding an event without inviting the other participants?
Sharing a calendar doesn't automatically mean everyone it's shared with needs to be there. It could just be shared so others know what you have going on and where you'll be. It doesn't mean they need to be there also.
