Pending events

Exactly. There should be a way to prevent this, don’t ya think? Is there a legitimate use for setting it up like option #2? I would not think so.

Glad to hear Karen, and sorry for the confusion on this. I agree that there should be a notice on this, but not sure how to detect this, maybe when you create more than X events? Or maybe when the event end date matches the recurrence end date?

I cannot think of a use for option #2 as is now, but I can imagine some very similar scenarios with mutiday recurrent events.

Anyway I’m happy this is clarified and also that this in not a bug.

Please let me know if you can think of an effective way of communicating this to the user,
Best,
Nico

I think a warning dialog box would be sufficient when the end date matches the recurrence end date. OR NEVER which can be particularly nasty.
Something like “This will create multiple events on multiple days, not one event on multiple days. Are you sure this is what you want to do? Perhaps you should change the event end date to be the same as the start date and then set the recurrence factor”
I am sure that can be improved.
thanks for all your help.

Hey Karen,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, and also for your patience while we worked this out. I’ll log a variation of this into the product backlog and hope we can see this working in the future 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Have a great one,
Nico
