Description Katrin Fischer 2019-01-21 08:04:45 UTC
When weekly or other repeating holidays are changed it will always effect dates in the future, but also in the past. For fine calculation and other reasons this can cause problems. It would be nice if it would possible to start and and repeated holidays at specific dates.

Agreed! This is also an issue if a library wants to do something like mark themselves closed on Sundays over the summer. It'd be great to be able to do that as a holiday repeating on the same day of the week within a range.

Or, at the very least, we should somehow make it clear that those date ranges are not used with repeating holidays. Right now, it's a bit of a trap.
Comment 3 Michael Adamyk 2023-01-09 21:06:20 UTC
I agree. Our consortium has multiple libraries that change their hours and days open over the summer, and it's difficult to make the change. The fact that any new holiday created does display the "To date" even if it's not a range holiday makes it confusing for libraries when that option doesn't work. 

It looks like Bug 17015, a complete overhaul for the Koha calendar, might fix this problem if it gets pushed. https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17015
Comment 4 Lindsay 2024-02-26 20:10:40 UTC
Agreed. It makes it hard to make changes to the schedule in advance, because it will affect everything in the past and not at the "start date" you are clicking on.
