Editing the preview part of an event breaks for RSVPed users

Once any user hits Going on the event, they will automatically join the chat channel, allowing them to participate in the conversation!

Our event object remembers if the user is Going, but it doesn’t always load the pre-determined content for attendees. For context, we hide the player behind their Going status, but the platform frequently requires them to un-RSVP and re-RSVP for the content to be revealed. It seems like if they RSVP’d recently, it remembers (same day?), but I always add “if you don’t see the player, un-rsvp” in the preview body just in case.

Is there anything we can do to force the system to check their status as the page loads?

UPDATE: I’m very confident that this has to do with editing the topic after they have already RSVP’d. Which, due to some hiccups with using Teams as our event video player, I have been doing shortly before the event goes live. This unfortunately breaks the preview/hidden feature for anyone already on the page. I’m still working on some solutions, but PSA that this is very likely the cause.
