Automate Office Events

[HotPotato]

There is potentially a bug with the automated office events. Prior to the election mechanics update, i could click through next week with my fundraising set and it would work no problem. In its current state, I tried tinkering with it but can't get it to automatically fundraise with it toggled on, off, or with the sliders set different ways. Is there a new function I'm missing since I'm returning after a while, or is it not working as intended? I can manually do it, but the addition of the auto-toggle was a super great QOL change and I'm hoping to get it to work. 2019 start, school board, 1 election in if that helps.

I observed the same.

It's the case when there are elections for which you could endorse candidates. You will observe that once these elections are over, everything works again (like after week 45) or in years without any elections.

I think it's because there is another event tab under campaign (that is by default set to "no") and it overwrites the normal one.

I can do some investigating.
One of the changes in the update is that you can endorse politicians (during election years) even if you are not running for election. This means that it is possible to do automated campaign events for the endorsed candidates. If you are doing automated campaign events, that overwrites any time you have to do automated office events.
Do you have automated campaign events set to true? If so, that might be preventing automated office events from working. If you turn off automated campaign events, do automated office events start working again?

Not 100% sure but I think the answer is yes Thank you, that should be correct
