Background
The recurrence rules function in the events form allows user to set the end date of a recurring event series. Bedework is set to consider the series to end on 11:59 p.m. of the date prior to the end date. While logic would suggest an "end date" not include events on the ending date, and technical conventions may require this, my users do not interpret it thus.
Example: 1st Thursday Book Club occurs on first thursday of months of March April May, 2023. User sets begin date to Thursday, March 2; end date to Thursday, May 4.
every month(s) on the first Thurepeating until 2023-05-04
Expected
Based on repairing this error for users, I observe most users expect the end date to include events occuring on the end date (May 4). This convention is consistent with their company's enterprise calendar recurrence setting which includes events scheduled on the end date.
Proposed Fix
At least on the Add Event forms, when user selects an end date to a series, events that fall on this day should be included in the series.
