## Description

### Steps to reproduce

<br>

1.  Set up a meeting series with e.g. 5 meetings and add _User A_ as participant
    
2.  Open the first meeting
    
3.  Navigate back to the meeting template for this meeting series
    
4.  Add a new participant _User B_ to the series
    

### What is the buggy behavior?

<br>

*   _User B_ will not be added as a participant to the already opened first meeting
    

### What is the expected behavior?

<br>

1.  The participation dialog in meeting templates is extended, so that you can choose to make change to all open meetings, instead of the template
    
    1.  When selected, adding a user as a participant to the template of a meeting series also adds them as a participant to upcoming instantiated occurrences of that series
        
    2.  When selected, removing a participant from the template also removes them as a participant from upcoming instantiated occurrences of that series
        
    3.  Email notifications behave the same way as they do currently, with emails automatically being sent out for the series and affected occurrences
        
        1.  Closed upcoming occurrences will see updates to their participants, but no emails
