When using the 'Add more exceptions' and 'Add more additions' buttons, the entire Repeat -> Except and Repeat -> Additions sections disappear and no new fields get added. It looks like this functionality was added in 2.6:

http://drupal.org/node/560054

Is anyone else having an issue with these buttons in 2.7?

Can't reproduce any problem in the latest code. You can't add empty values to those, but if there is a value filled out and you click the add more button, you get another selector.

Thank you for your response and for trying to reproduce this issue. Someone on my dev team tried this functionality out on a brand new Drupal install (and it worked), so I took a look to see what might be causing the issue in our specific installation. At some point, there must not have been a fieldset around the date selection fields, so we added a CCK group called Event Date and Time (with a machine name of group_date_time). After I removed this group and the Date CCK field was no longer nested within a group, the Exceptions and Additions worked great on our node edit form.

I also had this problem.

Basically if its inside a group then the entire section disappears.
If you move it outside of a group it seems to work as required

Any idea how to make this work inside a group? We use the group to display a description above the date field.

Yeah, I'm using Tao and it puts it in a container which seems to break the jquery rendering, too... Not sure if it's "fixed" more than there's been a workaround found for it. But that workaround isn't going to work for all cases. It looks like something in the callback isn't being specific enough about where the result is rendered to.

I'll take a look at it. Switching to 'active' as it appears to be something users are still experiencing. Having Date in a group is certainly not an unreasonable or unlikely use-case.

UPDATE: No luck so far, but it does seem to be theme-dependent.

I'm experiencing this same problem with the field via the publicbookings module add booking page. Have not been able to identify a workaround or fix.

I am also experiencing this issue in both standard groups and multi groups a fix for this would be very helpful. at this time I've had to hide that button and instruct our editors to save and reload the page after each exception.

Any update on the status of this issue? I'd really like to have dates inside a group and working?

Same problem here. Would like to use a date repeat field with exceptions within a group.

Re-naming for more clarity. This would probably require a major refactoring of the code and I'm mostly working on D7 and D8 now, so I'm not likely to get to it.

The workaround is don't try to nest that form. If someone provides a patch, I will look at it, otherwise nothing will get done.

Unfortunately the D6 version of this module is no longer supported, but we appreciate the time you put into this. If this problem is relevant for D7 too, please reopen the issue. Thanks.
