[BUG] Changing Campaign date autoselects too advanced future date

In the last few months I've noticed that when I try to change the schedule date of any campaign I run it always autoselects a date 2 weeks in advance.  Today, when it showed me the calendar it selected a date in December and we're not even done with November.  This happens in Chrome or Firefox consistently.

Previously, it would show the calendar with the last scheduled date and allow me to select what I needed.

I think that was a change we made based on how people schedule there games. You can still go back to the previous month by clicking to the left of the current month it has selected. 

You think?  There was no mention of this change that I can find, so I reported it as a bug.

I'd rather not have the scheduler select my dates for me.  I know how to change the date.  Having the scheduler select it for me has become an irritant.  I think it would have been better left unchanged.

Here is the post announcing the mini update for reference, also I get the same behaviour where Roll20 always defaults to 2 weeks in the future instead of 1 (this may stem from the likely fact that i forgot to update it when the update went out and had to spool on 2 weeks... so maybe it just assumes that to be the case generally rather than learning from the weekly time set ever since?).

Sorry Dorgrim, I should have double checked. The update that Ziechael linked is the update it occurred. I should have found and linked you that. Thank you for doing so Ziechael. 

No problem, you spend your time on the technical and leave the details to me/us (the mods), it's what we are here for :)

Thanks for the updates.  So, I guess I will have to submit a different bug since I don't see a notification to change the date, nor has it learned that I schedule every week instead of every two.  I don't use the LFG for this game so the scheduler doesn't pull any info from that.

My weekly game, the scheduler always proposes 1 week gap, not 2 weeks. I have used the LFG before.

Since you said you don't use the LFG, Dorgrim, maybe try going into your game's LFG (where it says Look For Players Disabled > Manage Listing) and set a Weekly game frequency there. You can keep the LFG disabled, or enable it for a moment and disable it. Maybe that will cause your default scheduler gap to set to 1 week.

The Frequency setting currently has just 3 options for repeating:
Weekly
Every Other Week
Once A Month

It could be that the default is Every Other Week for people who haven't touched the LFG Frequency setting.

Ziechael based on your experience you could probably test this too and see if you can get the weekly by setting Frequency drop-down on LFG.

You're directions don't match what I see.  This is because I've never needed or bothered with creating an LFG listing.

This might have changed my normal scheduler.  I am not sure.  I did set it for a close interval to current time and it did select the next week but, I am not sure if this is because it had autoselected the next week previously to my setting it.  I don't think I will be able to tell until after this Saturday (my next game).

However:

[Devs] I should not have to use the LFG scheduler for the system to learn what frequency to use.

[Expected Result] The autoscheduler should work out of the box without me needing to muck around with the LFG settings. I never plan to use them for 99% of games I run.  The scheduler should be able to tell, like it did before the change, that I schedule weekly.
