Is the inconsistency of future calendar items intentional?

MJ. Smith

In testing various Advent/Christmastide items I discovered:

On 18 November 2013 with Daily Christmastide Prayers as highest priority Calendar devotional:

• a Reading Plan generated from pre-defined feature and starting Dec 1 appears on the ribbon as an active plan
• Daily Christmastide Prayers as a Prayer List and starting Dec 25 appears tagged as done although the list has not begun. It was created today so there are no completed items from 2012
• Daily Christmastide Prayers as a calendar devotional and highest priority devotional does not appear in the home page. Yes, I checked all pages and used F5 to refresh the page.

My preference would be for items to appear showing the next active date, show as done only if a done box has actually been checked, and for all dated items to exhibit similar behavior.

It would also be helpful in testing - or setting up future items for a faithlife group - to be able to manipulate the date Logos 5 believes to be today's date.

Everything you've mentioned is consistent based on the date of November 18th:

• Reading plans are displayed regardless of the day. You can make a reading plan starting 3 years ago and it'll display. I would assume this is so that you can catch up or read ahead - readings are removed not by date, but by completion.
• It says "Prayers are done for today" because the prayer for November 18th is "completed" - or in this case, doesn't exist. 
• The Devotionals for the Home Page show devotionals for the current date. Since it isn't Dec. 25th it doesn't appear.

As for being able to set the date Logos believes it is, that would be a separate suggestion. I don't know how viable it would be with so many elements set to be by day (and the possibility of future dates not having content yet).
