Cancelling an event via Status Dropdown doesn't send iMIP CANCEL request

[pabzm]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

The email notification for an event that was cancelled only says that the event was updated, it does not show the status "cancelled". Thus the email looks as if some other attribute (e.g. the time) was changed, which is confusing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create an event with an attendee.
2. Save it.
3. Open it, set status to cancelled.
4. Save it.
5. See email notification.

Expected behavior

The email notification should tell me that the event was cancelled.

To add to the confusion: if only the even status changed, it will show the SUMMARY (title) as changed.

The issue is that modifying the state is not actually sending a CANCEL but a REQUEST.

This is what happens when the status is used.

Issue is with the iTipBroker its generating a request instead of a cancelled message.
