Bill & Income Reminders, "How Often" list displays "Every 5 years" for some yearly bills.

I have several reminders set to "once per year" on a particular date. Some of them correctly show "yearly" in the How Often column, but two show "Every 5 years" even though it displays "once per year" in their Edit Bill Reminder form.

I tried editing the reminders that are wrong to "twice yearly" and saving, which did display that setting correctly in the list. But when I put it back to "once per year" and saved it, it displayed "Every 5 years" again in the list. I don't know yet if it will affect whether the reminder is triggered correctly.

I find it it extra odd since "Every 5 years" isn't an option for the How Often setting.

I don't know when this started.

I just updated to R59.6 prior to noticing this.

The workaround for this used to be edit the reminder, set to 1x per month, save. Then edit reminder, set to 1x per year, save.

Thanks for the the tip mshiggins. That bug was the problem and your fix worked.

When I set it from yearly to monthly, it displays the option for "Every X months" on the dialog and it was at 5 months.

So then I did as you instructed and that fixed it.

I am also able to reproduce the error by reversing the process. Whatever the setting for "Every X months" on the Monthly options is set to will be displayed in the list as "Every X Years" if the reminder is changed to Yearly.

… and more info on reproducing this bug.

The same problem exists for the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily reminders' "How Often" to repeat setting. Whatever the last "Every X …" setting on any of those options will be used in the display if set to Yearly, even though Yearly has no such option in its dialog.
