Scheduling from 11pm to 7am

The Scheduler lets you input schedules across 2 days say 11:30pm to 7am the following day but when it is saved reverts to 12am to 7pm for some strange
Reason. I cannot get it to save before mid night ?

You have to split time periods that cross midnight into two separate ones. X to midnight. Midnight to Y.

That may be the solutoin, but I call BS. Why not make it so you can freely adjust schedule times??

You can freely adjust the time, you just can't wrap around midnight in one step. I do think a start of before midnight and a stop after would be a nice addition and could minimize some scheduling issues.

It's most likely due to a programming shortcut.

Staying within the same day for the schedules eliminates having to involve the date in time window definitions.

Huh? Be that as it may, I split up one time frame into two schedules and that worked, but I still think it's BS. Thanks for your help.
