Recurrence rules of schedules in Show View do not display a date/time reference

For schedules it's unclear what the applied from - to range is.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select a currently valid show
2. Inspect the lines of schedules with displayed recurrence rules (e.g. daily, weekly etc.)

Expected Result

The entries are identifiable by date and time:

• from and to information for durations
• date/time for not repeating entries

Actual Result

The entries do not have any reference.

@kmohrf I've checked the update, but it looks like not all schedules do feature a Date or Date Range in the given implementation.

For example:

• Schedule "Wöchentlich Dienstags" has a start and end date, which is not displayed
• Schedule "Jede 1. Woche im Monat Dienstags" has a start date only, which is not displayed

We could argue, that there is no need to display the start and end date, because after Hide outdated recurrence rules for schedules in... (#120 - closed) is implemented, only the currently valid schedules are displayed. Still, there could be multiple valid schedules with the same recurrence rule in the future. Without a date/time reference it is not clear when they are applied.

I see.

I’ve interpreted

date/time for not repeating entries

in the sense that we only want to show the date for schedules that are non-repeating. As far as I understand you’d like to have start and end dates regardless of whether or not the schedule is repeating, right?

That's correct for entries which are not repeating. What I've missed though: There are also schedules which have a start-date only and are repeating. So for them only the start-date should be displayed.

I guess you missed the other bullet point, which is meant for schedules which have a start- and end-date:

• from and to information for durations

Here the date range should be displayed, imo.

cc @kmohrf - maybe some input from the ProKo user side here comes helpful to clarify this topic:

It is evident that showing the date of a one-time show is necessary and useful (as we agreed).

Regular shows are created as series with a start and an open end-date, or (depending on the radio backend used) they are created to run over an entire year and then the end-date gets prolonged by the ProKo in case the host wants to keep running her show. But a show may be a try-out format for which the ProKo has agreed on a timeframe (e.g. a radiomaker is a newbie who proposes to create a series starting in 2 weeks, going over the next 5 months and then evaluates if she wants to continue). So in general, I would consider also for ongoing shows with a continuous recurrence schedule, displaying the from-to info is important.

When a show is a special series which has only some episodes, the ProKo may want to schedule it for some specific moment (e.g. starting in some moment in the future and then running for 3 months). For such cases, the from and to info is vital.

For those reasons I would consider it vital to include the from and ´to´ info overall into the display of recurring schedules in the Show Page.
