Support Repeating Schedules for Block Scheduling
under review
Len Smith
It would be a valuable addition to enhance the current publishing "Scheduling" feature offered in most blocks to allow an admin to create a repeating schedule. This can be helpful when an admin wants to display certain content on a page to show up, let's say only on a Sunday and not the rest of the week.

Len Smith do you have an example of content that would need this type of scheduling?
Len Smith
Paul Cox I thought I gave an example in my original submission. This feature request really would apply to any scheduling application (pages, blocks, announcements, etc.)
The use case for recurring schedules, would be any activity in a church that is periodic and incurs on a known schedule. For example:
* Monthly Communion
* Quarterly Missions Moments
* Monthly Family Sundays.
The goal for supporting recurring schedules would be that content can be created to support these schedules and they would automatically become published, or not, based on the recurrence. The benefit for this is that it allows an admin to create content once allowing the schedule to manage the availability of it dynamically. I hope his explanation helps.

Len SmithI get that. These just all seem like events that should be scheduled in the calendar. So I'm trying to understand why that wouldn't be the default way to display those type of things or if this is different to that.
