[SPIKE] [Events] [Defect] Recurring events don't specify timezone when editing the series.

Status

[2024-07-03] [Fran] Discussed with Dave C, and this should be fixed soon, and not wait for Events v3 work to commence.

Description

Recurring events don't specify timezone when editing the series.

This ticket is to research whether or not this is a minimal effort or something that should wait for Events V3 larger project.

To repro

1. Create a new Event at /node/add/event. Configure the event to be recurring, at 10am
   1. Recurring every 1 days
   2. Until (pick a date at least 4 days later, to get 4 instances)
   3. Timezone, specify Phoenix
2. Save
3. Validate that the start time for all events in MST begin at 10:00 am.
4. Edit the Event
5. Click the 'Edit event series' button
6. See that the listed dates / times start at 12:00, with no timezone specified.

Additional Information

This is an issue with the upstream module. A couple possible issues that might resolve the issue:

• https://www.drupal.org/project/smart_date/issues/3341271
• https://www.drupal.org/project/smart_date/issues/3228517
• https://www.drupal.org/project/smart_date/issues/3447695
• https://www.drupal.org/project/smart_date/issues/3383697

Acceptance criteria

• We need to decide: either modify times to show in the specified timezone, or add the timezone indicator to appear in the Edit Series modal.
• If this is a larger effort, notify Fran to close this ticket and introduce it as part of Events v3

Per Dave, fix now and don't wait for Events v3 work to commence.

@jilladams With events v3 slated to start this qtr and this ticket being around for over a year, I recommend closing it.

[FranECross]

@Agile6MSkinner I chatted with Dave about this recently, and he wants us to fix this now and now and not wait for Events v3. I'll move it out of the old epic so we can close it, and will create a new epic for for "Events Fix Now" or some such.

[Agile6MSkinner]

@mmiddaugh Since this is your show now, do you agree that we should fix this before Events v3? We would be choosing these 3 pts over other work.
