Hello,

I opened [FIX: Refresh event dates in topic lists - Pull Request #43285 - discourse/discourse - GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/43285) for this.

I then made a screen recording of manual testing against the PR head commit:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/a9ec1636c4b2ebfd89a23d37475110a24bd7f67c>

The PR is based on `main`.

The red timer in the recording counts down to the relevant event boundaries, while the green clock shows the current wall-clock time, so the recording should be self-contained.

I’ve included my exact test timings and BBCode below as supplementary notes.

> **First test — edit end only**
>
> Intended timings:
> 
> | start | edited start | end | edited end |
> | --- | --- | --- | --- |
> | 16:22 | no edit | 16:25 | 16:28 |
> 
> The BBCode initially was:
> 
> ```plaintext
> [event start="2026-09-04 16:22" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:25"]
> this is an event description
> [/event]
> 
> ```
> 
> I explicitly changed it to:
> 
> ```plaintext
> [event start="2026-09-04 16:22" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:28"]
> this is an event description
> [/event]
> 
> ```

> **Second test — edit start only**
>
> Intended timings:
> 
> | start | edited start | end | edited end |
> | --- | --- | --- | --- |
> | 16:31 | 16:32 | 16:35 | no edit |
> 
> I made a setup mistake in this run: the initial BBCode was actually:
> 
> ```plaintext
> [event start="2026-09-04 17:00" end="2026-09-04 18:00" status="public" timezone="Europe/London" reminders="notification.15.minutes"]
> [/event]
> 
> ```
> 
> I then explicitly changed it to:
> 
> ```plaintext
> [event start="2026-09-04 16:32" status=public timezone=Europe/London end="2026-09-04 16:35" reminders=notification.15.minutes]
> [/event]
> 
> ```
> 
> So this particular run should not be treated as a clean `16:31` → `16:32` start-only comparison.

> **Third test — edit start and end**

> Intended timings:
> 
> | start | edited start | end | edited end |

> **Fourth test — edit end only**

> **Fifth test — edit start only**

> Intended timings:
> 
> | start | edited start | end | edited end |
> | --- | --- | --- | --- |
> | 16:56 | 16:57 | 17:00 | no edit |

> The final BBCode was:

> A database check afterwards confirms that this post was edited once by its author within Discourse’s 300-second editing grace period (`self_edits = 1`). Because the edit was within that grace period, the post remained at version 1 and no visible revision/pencil was created.
> 
> The original raw value is therefore no longer available from `post_revisions`, but the test was not an unedited post.
