Hi,

I’ve not used this functionality before but did today for the first time, looks really useful, I think I may have spotted an issue though, see below.

* * *

Steps I took;

- I created my topic, setting it to **Unlisted** so that it wouldn’t be displayed before I could set the scheduling options

- I then used the **Topic Admin Actions** to schedule its publication (shame I couldn’t do that before submitting it actually).

- Once created, I then set the topic back to **Listed**.

* * *

What I experienced;

- At the bottom of the topic I can see this;

- Selecting **Set Topic Timer..** again, from the **Admin Topic Actions** , displays this;

* * *

Assumptions;

It looks like because the **Category** I have already selected is removed from the **Publish To** list (which in one sense makes sense), this modal isn’t able to pre-select the option.

I am also assuming that the message at the bottom, where the name of the selected **Category** is missing, is also taken from the selected value of this drop down menu.

If I expand and scroll, or search the **Publish To** menu, my original selection is not available/displayed.

* * *

I hope this is of some use - if I have used it incorrectly, please do let me know 🙂
