“End after X occurences” in combination with Exclusions

[Barbara]

Hi guys,

When using the ‘End after X occurences’ option, my gut feeling says that it should work together with Exclusions. For instance, we have a course running for 16 weeks, but with one exclusion in the middle (a one week vacation).

When setting the event up, I obviously want to create an event that ends after ’16’ occurences, but not taking into account the one day I’ve set as an exclusion. For now, I have fixed this by setting it to 17 occurences, since the exclusion day is also counted.

I can imagine this might be hard to accomplish without errors somewhere, but I bet it might be good to let folks using it know that exclusions are counted as days when using the ‘end after X occurences’ option.

Hope this helps,
Hans

Hey Hans,

Thanks for the report! Let me say you raise an interesting point here. I just re-created this locally and indeed can see the mismatch you point out.

I’m not sure if this has been take in account when the feature was developed and it was a decision to make it work as it does now or if it was an oversight! I’ll touchbase with the team on this and will let you know about it.

Best,
Nico
