Editing event end date → post event date on topic title not updated (since 3.6.0.beta2 update)

Bug
1

Tested on 3.6.0.beta2, as far as I recall, issue didn’t appear on beta1

Steps:

  1. Create new topic with event start date in the past and end date in the future (e.g. in 3 hours)
  2. Publish topic, post event date on topic title is displayed correctly
  3. Update event end date to a later or earlier time
  4. Issue occurs: post event date on topic title remains the same

I tried to refresh HTML as well, but issue persists

Edit: I encountered same issue when editing just the event start date, but could not reproduce it yet…

How are you editing the event, via the UI of via markdown.

Do both behave differently?

As far as I recall, the issue appeared in both cases.

Sometimes the start date wasn’t updated, and sometimes the end date was affected. I didn’t have a chance to properly reproduce it as it’s really time-consuming and intricate.

I submitted a tiny PR which fixed it to some extent. We are using that as a helper plugin for now.

The current workaround is also:

  1. Edit post and remove the event BB code, save the post
  2. Edit the post, re-add the event BB code with the desired date, and save post

This re-writes the event dates from scratch into the topic.
