Hi there,

Please help me to understand the difference between "Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options" and "Widget type: Select List".

Note that I am testing with "Date" and "Datetime" types.

From testing the difference I find is that

"Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options" --- does not work (at the edit page after saving the item that was a "Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options" does NOT appear on the view page)

and

"Widget type: Select List" --- does work (after saving the item that was a "Widget type: Select List" does appear on the view page)

another difference is that

For the "Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options" changing the "Number of values: " does NOT change the appearance of the widget on the edit page.

and

For the "Widget type: Select List" changing the "Number of values: " does change the appearance of the widget on the edit page. In fact it makes the widget appear more than once --- is this not equivalent to "Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options"??

Regards,

Warren.

This is handled by date.module, should be filed over there.
Also : please download and enable advanced help module if you haven't already, and check the help pages for date.
Not sure they hold the exact answer to your question, but might be a good starting point.

I've worked this out.

I did not have the "Date Repeat API" module enabled.

Strictly speaking "Widget type: Select List with Repeat Options" should NOT appear if the required component to provided the repeat options has not been installed...

Warren.
