Schedule Recurrence End Date

Hi,
Not sure why Schedule Recurrence End Date is showing inconsistence?
Here are the end date mismatched:
If I schedule any report from my personal folder, then End Date (Recurrence) is showing default 10 years from schedule created date. Just say if I created schedule today, 03/30/2020 (also Start Date) then End Date is showing 03/30/2030. Which is Good!!
Now if I schedule any report from Public Folder then end date is showing different. For above case, End Date is showing 06/30/2026.
Is there any security issue? Any idea? I am using BO 4.2

If the public reports have default scheduling settings set, then the original end date from when those settings were set would apply.

Hi Jopeters,
Thank you so much for your reply. But I could not understand. What is default setting mean? Where to update these setting?
As I mentioned earlier, my issue is in end date is not showing default 10 years date from new schedule is created.

In CMC, if you open the report’s properties and go to the “Default Settings” panel, you will see the report’s default scheduling options (this panel does not appear in BI launchpad).

Yes you are right Joepeters. I saw default End date on report through CMC. It meant whatever End date is selected here same end date will show up on each new schedule.
Now question is how we make End Date dynamic for Public Folder or any other folder? I do not want to go report by report and update end date to default 10 years.

I haven’t actually tried it, but I assume if you change the recurrence to “Now” in the default settings, then a newly-scheduled report will get a new end date (10 years from today).

Hi Joepeters,
Once Recurrence is clicked default Run Object is showing NOW. As you know that any schedule set to Schedule for NOW there is no Start Date and End Date for those schedules.
May be there is any other way…?
