That seems... fine... to me? It's not a different appointment; the time has just been changed. It feels like that's a bug with the other apps: they are assuming that they can cache all metadata associated with an appointment and that nothing will ever change, but that's a bad assumption.

Well that would depend on what the written specification of that id is.

Is it the id of the appointment at that time or is it the id for the appoint meant.

Seems like the originator chose the latter and the others the former.
