Final interval of weekly recurring event series may not be created under certain conditions.
Last updated 2022-02-10 ·Reference W-2917959 ·Reported By 0 users
Summary
The maximum number weekly recurring events in a series is 53, but under certain conditions the final interval of events may not be created, leading to a total number of events fewer than 53.
For example, let's say that a recurring event is scheduled to occur every 2 weeks on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, starting from 8/25/2016. Clicking 'Calculate Latest Date' will generate a final occurrence value of 12/20/2016, which is a Tuesday. However, after saving the above you can run a report and confirm that the final occurrence of the event will actually occur on 12/17/2016, resulting in a total of 51 occurrences of the event.
This is due to the fact that the final interval of the recurring event (Monday - Saturday) is being skipped by mistake. Therefore, the final two occurrences of the recurring event, which should be scheduled for 12/19/2016 and 12/20/2016, are not created.
Repro
1- Create a weekly recurring series of events set to recur every 2 or more weeks, on more than one day per a week.
Example:
Frequency:
- Weekly
- Recurs every 1 week(s) on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
2- Generate the End Date by clicking 'Calculate Latest Date'.
3- If the maximum number of recurrences (53) cannot be fulfilled without creating a partial interval, the final interval of the event will be skipped.
Workaround
If you notice that the final interval of a weekly recurring event has not been created correctly, please create a separate recurring event for the missing dates.
