v2: Updating an event with cleanup time removes the cleanup time
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 10:22 am
I created an event using the new setup/cleanup time features. That worked great. I had a one-hour event from 1:00 to 2:00, with 30 minutes setup before and 30 minutes cleanup after, so the location was reserved from 12:30 to 2:30. It displayed nicely in Week view with the 30 setup minutes before and the 30 cleanup minutes in gray. So far so good.
But then I edited that event and changed the 30 cleanup minutes to 60 minutes. When I saved my changes, I saw that the cleanup time had disappeared from the Week view. And indeed, when I clicked on the event, I saw that it was messed up. It said "Facility is available for setup starting at 12:30pm and for cleanup ending at 1pm." Note that ending cleanup time: it's not just that it's not at 3:00 as I asked, or 2:30 as it used to be, or even 2:00 when the event ends. It is displaying the event start time.
Nothing I can do to the event will enable me to restore any cleanup time. The only way I can get an event with cleanup time is to create it fresh (and never touch the cleanup time in any subsequent edits).
