Description
- The formatter on the Schedule Entry record lets you specify the When values for the Schedule Entry record.
- If the parent Schedule record specifies a time zone instead of Floating, there is a time zone choice displayed (read-only) as part of the formatter.
- In the base system, the values you enter into this formatter (schedule_date_range.xml) are populated into the start_date_time and end_date_time fields. These fields are not shown on the form.
- When the form is drawn, this formatter is populated with the information from the start_date_time and end_date_time fields.
The problem occurs if the form layout includes the start_date_time and end_date_time fields before the formatter that shows the "When" date/time range and you display one of these Schedule Entry records for a schedule with a specified timezone. The system populates the time input boxes on the formatter with two values that are an hour apart, instead of using the expected values from the start_date_time and end_date_time fields.

Steps to Reproduce
- Navigate to a cmn_schedule_span record.
- Personalize the form to add the start_date_time and end_date_time fields to the form layout before the Schedule Date Range Selector (this is important).
- Navigate to the 8-5 weekdays' cmn_schedule record and note that the Schedule Entries related list shows Name: Monday-Friday 8-5 Start date time: 2008-07-07 08:00:00 End date time: 2008-07-07 17:00:00.
- Navigate to the Monday-Friday 8-5' cmn_schedule_span record and note that the formatter is populated with: 2008-07-07 08:00:00 To 17:00:00 2008-07-07.
- Navigate to the Application FLX cmn_schedule record and note that the Schedule Entries related list shows Name: App FLX Entry Start date time: 2010-11-20 16:00:00 End date time: 2010-11-20 20:00:00.
- Navigate to the App FLX Entry cmn_schedule_span record and note that the formatter is populated with: 2014-02-07 21:00:00 To 22:00:00 2014-02-07.
It should be: 2010-11-20 16:00:00 To 20:00:00 2010-11-20.
Workaround
Remove the Start date time and End date time fields from the form layout. Only use the Scheduled Date Range Selector formatter to display or change these values.
