[Solved] SchedulerAppointment.clone() doesn't clone the recurrence rule?

[Sam]

Hi guys,

We noticed that the client-side clone() method for a SchedulerAppointment does not seem to clone the recurrence rule.

The definition of the function as we see it in your build 2013.1.220.45 is (minified)

clone:function(){var h=new b.SchedulerAppointment();
h._id=this._id;
h._subject=this._subject;
h._description=this._description;
h._start=this._start;
h._end=this._end;
h._toolTip=this._toolTip;
h._internalID=this._internalID;
h._visible=this._visible;
h._recurrenceState=this._recurrenceState;
h._recurrenceParentID=this._recurrenceParentID;
h._contextMenuID=this._contextMenuID;
h._resources=this.get_resources().clone();
h._attributes=this.get_attributes().clone();
if(this.get_reminders){h._reminders=this.get_reminders().clone();
}for(var i in this){if(h[i]===g&&!i.startsWith("_")){h[i]=c(this[i]);
}}return h;
}

I would have expected a line something like:

h.set_recurrenceRule(this.get_recurrenceRule());

Is there a reason why the recurrence rule isn't cloned?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,

 
Thank you for pointing this issue. I have logged it for investigation and possible implementation. Meanwhile you can use the following code to workaround it:

function OnClientAppointmentClick(sender, args) {
          var appointment = args.get_appointment();
          var newAppointment = appointment.clone();
          newAppointment.set_recurrenceRule(appointment.get_recurrenceRule());
          sender.insertAppointment(newAppointment);
      }

Hope this will be helpful.
