      Description

      After creating an event template and a scheduled reminder within that template, coming back to edit that template creates this rather bizarre screen, where an active event reminder exists for... no event.

      The effect on a live production site as I witnessed today was a mass email send to participants in ALL events, resulting in thousands of emails in our case. Ouch.

      We could try to reproduce exactly how this happened, or save time and I suggest that creating active scheduled reminders should NOT be allowed within the event template context. at least someone should have to activate a reminder after the event is created.

      Perhaps we could go so far as to say that scheduled reminders (which should be event-specific anyway) aren't allowed in templates at all.
