It says phases expects an array. You seem to be passing in an object

[graceful raptor]

So if I want all the items in a subscription to have the same iteration, will that be multiple "phase" objects?

Or is it still 1 "phase" object, but an array of "phase.items"?

I've converted it to an array, but now getting:

The subscription schedule update is missing at least one phase with a start_date to anchor end dates to.

And when I set start_date: "now" it gives:

You can not modify the start date of the current phase.
What should I be sending through?

[thick lichen]

Yeah what happens here is you already have an ongoing phase (the "current phase") for this Subscription

So you can only modify its end_date, since its start_date has already happened

[graceful raptor]

I only want to determine its end date through the iteration passed in, is that possible?

[thick lichen]

The correct way is find the current start_date, then pass it in as start_date instead of now

How to find it: Retrieve the Subscription Schedule and look at phases[0].start_date

[graceful raptor]

Can I view the schedule anywhere in the dashboard? I've successfully modified the schedule but I can't see its end date defined

[thick lichen]

You have the Sub Sche Id, you can do a Retrieve API

[graceful raptor]

I know we can get it from the API, but I want to know if we can do it from the dashboard

[thick lichen]

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules do you see it here?

[graceful raptor]

Nope

Just to give a little more context which might help, I've created a subscription X , and I've created a subscription schedule from subscription X. This was so that the first cycle gets charged on creation

Now I want to modify the schedule such that it will end after a fixed number of iteration

[thick lichen]

Oh that page is only for scheduled in the future

So yes you can only see the schedule related information form the subscription X page itself: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscriptions/sub_1NE3RwDBF4LGcRTgc6NePGW3

[graceful raptor]

I can't find any info relating to the subscription schedule on that page

[thick lichen]

It's on the Logs or Events if you scrolled down ie. https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1NE3S9DBF4LGcRTgfxPHFWFD

[graceful raptor]

Yeah but they don't give anything else besides what was changed, is there nowhere else to visualise the change?

So in my update I've updated the iteration, but it doesn't show it on the actual subscription itself, just that an event has occurred

[thick lichen]

they don't give anything else besides what was changed, is there nowhere else to visualise the change?
Sorry don't follow this. The event https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1NENCkDBF4LGcRTgBXBduznl should outline what has changed.

From the previous_attributes

[graceful raptor]

The event represents the update, I want to see the effect on the subscription itself, not from previous_attributes and its changes from an event

In other words, is there a way for a non-tech person to see the changes without browsing a json object

[thick lichen]

Yeah that's something we haven't supported, sorry! I agree a non-Tech person would find it difficult to understand the flow

[graceful raptor]

Ah ok, so what does the "iterations" actually do? I thought it would reflect the end date of a subscription

I think I'm using it incorrectly (I want to set the end date to after x iterations)

[thick lichen]

iterations is the number of billing cycles as you said. Yes you can use iterations to avoid time calculation

[graceful raptor]

So.. if my end_behaviour is cancel, after the number of billing cycles the subscription will be cancelled?

[thick lichen]

Yep

[graceful raptor]

Alright cool that works, if the end_behaviour is "cancel" we do get a visual indicator on the dashboard (cancels <date>)
