Hello,

Can anyone explain why are we getting this error notification that "A recurring gift cannot be added with a Start Date before the Gift Date." if these dates are identical?

Can this be a timezone issue?

    After further testing we've found out that we were including time (hours, minutes and seconds) in the gift date whereas we included date only for gift scheduled start date e.g.

    Gift Date: 2025-01-12 10:05:01

    Start Date: 2025-01-12

    As a results the start date was converted to 2025-01-12 00:00:00 which is ahead of 2025-01-12 10:05:01.

    I hope this might help someone
