Description bugzy 2021-10-25 20:20:20 UTC

SUMMARY
Selecting Weekly Recurrence/Repeat does not bring up day selection check boxes

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new Event
2. Fill out title and all other relevant options for the event
3. For the "Repeat:" rule, select "Weekly"

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no way to select what days to repeat the even on

EXPECTED RESULT
A list of check boxes should be shown to allow selection of what days the event should repeat on.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* Kalendar Version: 0.1-2.20211024git88c9bfd obtained from:  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/zawertun/kde/package/kalendar/

* Any recurring events set up in another application (Korganizer for instance) can be edited since the selection boxes show up as expected in those cases.

* Saving the event without repeating days still works but it causes other issues in other applications such as not being able to select the day of the event as part of the recurrence.

Custom weekly recurrence rule

Comment 3 Claudio Cambra 2021-10-25 21:03:53 UTC

To set custom weekly recurrence rules (e.g. every Monday and Wednesday) select:

1. 'Custom' in the 'Repeat:' entry combo box
2. 'week' in the second combo box of 'Every:' entry
3. Then you will be able to select the specific week days with checkboxes.

I am also attaching a screenshot for you.

The standard weekly recurrence is meant to be a quick and easy recurrence every 7 days. Since this is not a bug, I am closing this report

I see, much thanks. I wonder if something like a pre-selected day checkbox for a simple 7 day recurrence may work easier than two distinct categories (i.e. "Weekly," and "Custom"). That should ease the UI changes and category confusion at least in my case. I suppose that another alternative may be to rename "Custom" into  "Weekly (Custom)" since that is what it actually is.
