When you copy a holiday from the worldwide public holidays database, then that holiday's recurrence rule cannot be modified, and this is indicated by the recurrence rule header caption, as shown on the right, below.
Important Remark
To make future synchronizations smoother, make sure that you when you copy a holiday rule from the samples database, you only do it once to any of your specific holidays sets. The examples below will show you how to show different text (or none) depending on the specifics of any holiday rule that may last more than one day.
Examples
Below are some examples (for more information on the keywords used, see the topic on name variations).
