Dear Customer,

Syncfusion Greetings.

Sorry for the inconvenience. In aspnetcore documentation we have wrongly mentioned recurrence frequency as “never”. We will modify and refresh the document on our volume 3 SP1 release. We would appreciate your patience until then

There still seems to be confusion there (now in both versions of the docs).

By default, there are 5 types of repeat options available in recurrence editor such as,
Never
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly

While just below in the code example, you can read this:

if (args.type == 'Editor') {
    scheduleObj.eventWindow.recurrenceEditor.frequencies = ['none', 'daily', 'weekly'];
}

So as you can see, there still is a mismatch between the code example and the documentation...

@os1r1s110 - Sorry for the delayed response.

In recurrence editor, there are 5 different types of repeat options available such as
Never Daily Weekly Monthly Yearly

But in the above code, we can customize the repeat options using frequencies property. For more reference, kindly refer the below documentation links,

Kindly refer to the above link and get back to us for further assistance.

@sellakumark I'm not sure to understand your response.... I already knew how to change the "frequencies" option, it was just to point out there was a mismatch between the documentation and the example code provided....

Also as I can see, the issue mentioned here is STILL present in your documentation... it's been over a year now :) If you think it's fine as is, then just leave it as is, but the documentation does not match the code example...

@lvmajor - Thanks for your patience.

By default never type is used in our source, but we can manually customize the never type to none like that using popupOpen event. We can explain the steps in the below link https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/schedule/recurrence-editor/#customizing-the-repeat-type-option-in-editor

Kindly refer to the above link and get back to us for further assistance.

@lvmajor ,

Sorry for the confusion.

We are trying to update more details on this query for more clarity. We have checked the reported case in our source and let you know that we have accepted both ‘never’ and ‘none’ as frequency data. We convert to ‘Never’ option even you pass 'none'.

Also we will update this information in the documentation that we can use both 'never' and 'none' for 'Never' option as repeat data. Please refer to the following links of the code in the source to get the frequency data in which we have accepted none and convert it to ‘Never’.

@Nevitha-Ravi Thanks for the clarification. I'm not completely sure to understand why this was done in the first place, but I guess there was a reason... :)

As for the documentation, it is great to know it will be updated to clarify this point as it will ensure users are not confused as to why it changes suddenly between the textual explanation and the code example given right below, especially that depending on the platform (.net core vs Javascript) documentation sites, it is not the same :P

Hi @lvmajor ,

Sorry for the inconveniences.

We would like to let you know that the text shown for no repeat in the frequencies dropdown is ‘Never’ but the value is ‘none’. So we request to pass ‘none’ for frequencies which is the correct way.
