Scheduler yearly recurring pattern for leap years

[Josip]

Hello,

 I use scheduler to show my events and I have events that should be shown for each year on a specific date.

I use yearly reference rule and everything works fine until even's date is not 29th February. In that case my event get's pushed to 1st March even if current year has that date.

 The only case in which my date doesn't get pushed to 1st March is if event's date is set to 29th February of the current year.

 

Is there any way to handle this as I didn't find any info regarding leap years in the documentation?

 

Thanks.

Hello Josip,

In general, the widget will not show the recurring event if February 29th is missing (not a leap year):

Could you share the event's recurrence rule in order to test it locally?

Recurrence rule used is: "FREQ=YEARLY"

Hello Josip,

Indeed, the recurrence engine will move the event to the next month. This is the default behavior of JavaScript Date object, which we do not modify.

The only solution in this case is to use a more specific recurrence rule:

• recurrenceRule: "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=2;BYMONTHDAY=29"

like in the test demo:

Thanks.

It's not ideal but it works. It would be nice if we could use just yearly and then specify behavior for this case.
