Got me again! This time it was in the new version of Programs. Created and published the Program to run daily, but the default end date being the same as the start date means it only went out on the start date, instead of everyday like I intended.
New Idea
Stop having the end date be required or at least have no default end date

+9I’m glad you made this - this also got me the other day, and it’s not just JO. I had a Data Designer where the end date defaulted to the same day for the refresh schedule.
In what world would I want to “regularly schedule” something for a single day?
I think platform-wide, the end date should not only be blank by default without causing error, but there should be an admin tool to globally review schedules for items, with configurable alerts.
You could have things show up as “active” but aren’t actually running, which is not something you can see as easily.
I also mentioned it as one of the reporting improvements I’d like to see on JO here:
but really it should be in that sweet admin home we’ve been promised for years :)
+5I have been setting these 2099 when it will hopefully not be relevant anymore, but it’s a silly trick. If automation needs to be set to run for over 70 years, can we just call it “until instructed otherwise” and move on?

Thank you for validating, I was 75% sure it was Data Designer that I had run into this before! It should be a principle applied throughout the platform.
