Public bug reported:

On an Android, new events were entered into v.5.1.2 of this 3rd-party
calendar app:

  https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro/

Events contained a Title ("Summary" field), Location, and Description.
The events were exported to an ICS file and pulled using adb.
Inspection confirmed that all the data made it into the ICS file.  The
ICS file was then imported into calcurse.  Only the Title field and
times survived the import.

I thought perhaps calcurse simply is not showing the data.  So as a test
the records were then re-exported as an ical file.  Indeed the LOCATION
and DESCRIPTION fields are missing.  When the ical file is re-imported
into Simple Calendar Pro, the records are duplicated but obviously with
the lost data.

It's unclear how Simple Calendar Pro guards against duplication (if at
all), but it's likely using the UID field.  UID is also a field that the
original records contained but calcurse lost, so there is little hope of
avoiding dupes when reimporting records.

** Affects: calcurse (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- calcurse import of ICS files is lossy (location & description is lost)
+ calcurse import of ICS files is lossy (location, description, and UID are 
lost)
