First things first, have you created issues in the issue queues for these two modules? Chances are, the module maintainers will never see this post.
Well I could but it is actually a strange situation. It is neither Multisteps, nor Date Popups nor Schedulers fault. Nobody is doing something wrong. The reason for this problem is that all three modules need to do something "smart". Date Popup pretends its only one field while its actually two, Multistep manipulates the form handling and Scheduler assumes there is only one field. Either module could do something to prevent the problem but not without "knowing" about the other modules. Scheduler could check if the field contains a string or an array (which would be the easiest fix). But if Date Popup changes the implementation that is normally hidden behind the virtual single field or if Multistep does something different to hide fields that are not part of the current step, scheduler would have to change too. That would be pretty ugly. I am asking this question in the mailing list, because I know you are alle much smarter than I am and maybe someone know how to escape the dilemma. Regards, Eric
