| Description | On two different Softaculous installs of Composr 10.0.24, adding recurring events failed because the dates changed after submission. Entering an 11:15 AM 4/8/2019 meeting with monthly recurrence on 2nd Monday, an 11:15 AM 4/9/2019 meeting with monthly recurrence on 2nd Tuesday, and a 5:30 PM 4/10/2019 meeting with monthly recurrence on 2nd Wednesday results in the third meeting "moving" to 4/9 - in some cases the correct date displays when going back to edit, but even after editing it jumps to the wrong date.
Just figured out what the problem is; I had the site time set to UTC-7 (Arizona, USA) and the recurring event system was apparently converting to and/or from UTC. When I set the site to UTC, the dates and times became what I had entered. |
| Steps to reproduce | Added three events as listed above, both with and without creating new event types, and had site time set to Arizona time (UTC -7:00). THAT is apparently the root of the problem. |

| Funded? | No |

I'm sorry you haven't received a reply on this issue yet. I would normally do so but have been extremely busy. I will definitely get a reply out this coming month. It's likely a complex issue and I'm on vacation next week, but it's on my to do list.
