snippets<\/a> to alter the default Start Time and End Time for events on the Community Events: Submit an Event form. It works fine, except that when an error message is returned (because the user left a required field blank, etc), the Start Time is changed to be the same as the End Time that was entered when the user first tried to submit the form.<\/p>\nWe’ve confirmed that the issue only occurs with this snippet activated. How can we modify this so that when error messages are returned on the Community Events: Submit an Event form, the Start Time that was originally entered is not altered?<\/p>\n
