Clock Schedule Bug: "Ignore Year" causes future-dated clocks to overwrite current weekly schedule

I am using the "Repeat every 52 weeks" in clock grids with a hard reference date set to December 25th.
While this successfully isolates the correct week of the year, the software forces the clock to apply to the entire week if painted across the week's grid slots. It cannot dynamically pick out a single calendar date (like the 25th) out of a weekly layout slot. Because calendar dates shift to a different day of the week each year, we are forced to manually repaint the grid every single year. 
Feature Request for Developer:
Please fix "Ignore year on dates" so that if a clock is assigned a date range of Dec 25 - Dec 25, it only overwrites the schedule grid for that exact calendar date, regardless of what day of the week it lands on. This would allow placement of the special clock in every day of the special grid without having to move it a day every year for the next year.


Hi Darrell,


The correct way to cover one day is to run from 25th December 2026 at 00:00 to 26 December 2026 at 00:00 (24 hours) and ignore year on dates. Ensure it runs every week as 52 weeks is not a full year.



I have just tested this on the latest version and it is work as I would expect. 

I just tried and I have the latest version. It will not let me remove AM or PM or change the times to 00:00. It sends it back to 12:00. Is there something else that needs to be changed? 

On 12 hour clock, select 25 Dec 2026 12:00 AM to 26 Dec 2026 12:00 AM


The important part is that you do not select the same date (25 Dec 2026) for both as that is a zero-length time.

It appears as long as I changed it to the start and end date you showed it works. regardless of the AM/PM. I just went to 2027 and it moved to Saturday as it should. Thank you. 

I will make sure the user interface is updated to ensure it is clearer what is happening. I understand your confusion.
