Repeat Multiple Event Dates Not Working

[Ross]

Hello. The repeat annually function for events that have a different date to the “original” event does not work. The output changes only the month and leaves the original date the same. The attached screenshot is my set up for an event that occurs annually from 9:30-17:00 on 20 March, 4 May, and 1 October. However, the output creates three events between 9:30-17:00 on 20 March, 20 May, and the 20 October. Please can you correct this error in your next update?

Hey Ross,

Thanks for your report! I just tested this and could recreate the issue, so it looks like we have a but.

Though I cannot promise we will be able to fix this in the very next update as the development of that finishes today and we are moving into testing, I will give this a higher priority so we can tackle this soon after.

Until the fix ships instead of “yearly” recurrence you could use “once”. That will cover you for this year. Then you can change it back once the fix is done.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
