Hello @ravikumar-venkatesan-m ,

I have played a little bit with the set up you have prepared.
And when running the things as they are done by default everything looks good:

The situation changes to the problem I have described when I add prop timezone to the ejs-schedule.
This very strange to me as the timezone given is the same timezone as the timezone of my computer and it agrees to the timezone you added when doing calculation using moment.js

I do add the timezone in the application I work in as user can change it freely depending on its need.

There is one more thing which is important and it's the day when we start the recurrence. When I changed the start of the repetition to be week earlier, i.e. not on the day of DST than the task on 29th does not longer "feel" that its the day of the switch between summer and winter time.
This is the image taken without added timezone prop, but you can notice the change to the beginning of repetition pattern.

After adding the timezone prop the tasks are identical:

The part related to the start of the recurrence is not important for me as I have access to all the tasks of recurrence as if they were single tasks, thus I never add RecurrenceRule

from ej2-vue-ui-components.

But I guess I can make it work if I will stop using the timezone prop what is very unfortunate in my opinion as it will require changing the datasource every time I change timezone.

Hello again @ravikumar-venkatesan-m,
I have testes the idea I mentioned in the message before and actually it will not work. Since without providing timezone prop even if I recalculate the startTime to be in the desired timezone it is later converted to my local timezone

This can be resolved by adding properties StartTimezone and EndTimezone but it than recreates the original issue when applying my local timezone

It seems to me that there is something wrong with the transformations when the timezone property is added

Merrique,

We have validated your reported issue by altering the sample based on the information you provided. However, its working fine as expected. We checked the identical issue in Outlook calendar and discovered that it functions similarly to Schedule. We designed our Schedule component in accordance with Outlook requirements.

Sample: https://codesandbox.io/s/ej2-vue-3-schedule-recurrence-appointment-in-dst-timezone-forked-2tfdpf?file=/src/App.vue

Hello @SwathiRavi14,
The issue is still persistent for me if you set the start of the original task at the day of the DST.

No repetition task scheduled at 29th of October (changed the start date and end date and removed recurrence)

Adding repetition but for the task that starts on the 29th of October. Please notice that the "1h" task (12-3am) is repeated in the future.

This is the source of my issue. In the project I'm working on for various reason all of the tasks are being fetched even if they were generated as the recurrent task. Which means I read it as a single task ad the RecurrenceRule is never added to my data source. I guess my description was misleading at the start because of this.

@Merrique ,

We checked your reported issue in our Scheduler and informed you that the StartTimeZone and EndTimeZone fields in your appointments data are required. Regarding your observation about tasks on the day of Daylight-Saving Time (DST), we have analyzed the behavior of the Scheduler in comparison to the Outlook calendar. Our investigation shows that both applications handle recurring events in a similar manner, and the repeating occurrences are shown with the same start and end times as the parent recurring event.

@SwathiRavi14,

The images i have provided were generated after making changes to your codesandbox, where no StarTimeZone or endTimeZone were provided. The link you attached is here https://codesandbox.io/s/ej2-vue-3-schedule-recurrence-appointment-in-dst-timezone-forked-2tfdpf?file=/src/App.vue.

As I mentioned in my previous comment my problem occurs when you will have the first task of the recurrence on the day of the DST. Here is the sample I created based on the most recent link you attached
https://codesandbox.io/s/ej2-vue-3-schedule-recurrence-appointment-in-dst-timezone-forked-gwn6rv?file=/src/App.vue

And here is the image I can see on my screen generated for this sample:

The only change I have made is I changed the startDate of the repetition to be on the 29th not on the 23rd
