recurrence description lost in update

[Steve]

Thanks, I’m just trying to get a clearer idea of the state of the data I sent you. I probably mentioned what state it was in in my post which was deleted. Could you read my previous question again?

Howdy Mike!

I made some tweaks to the script that you have been working with and ran it against the data dump that you provided with very positive results! The recurrence data was converted cleanly from the events that I spot checked and each maintained the description fields.

Here is a GitHub Gist with the modified script:

If this script works for you, I’ll work on getting a patch in place to ensure that legacy recurrence data maintains the description field contents.

Thank you!

Many thanks, this looks very promising. It seems to work well on my local copy. I’ll get the latest data from the live site, put it on staging, run the script, and get the client to have a look too. I’ll report back soon.

Glad to see Matt could reach out to you Mike!

Please let us know when you can confirm the script is working for you 🙂

Best,
Nico

I think we may have got there! I’ll open a new thread if there seem to be any follow-up issues, but for now the client seems happy that the conversion has succeeded. Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for the heads-up Mike 🙂 Really glad to hear the script from Matt worked!

This surely wasn’t an easy/typical issue, thanks for the patience.

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.

Best,
Nico
