# Group Session Day of Week Fix ## Issue When creating a group session, the following error occurred: ``` Field 'day_of_week' expected a number but got 'MONDAY' ``` ## Root Cause The `Schedule` model's `day_of_week` field is defined as an `IntegerField` with choices: - 0 = Sunday - 1 = Monday - 2 = Tuesday - 3 = Wednesday - 4 = Thursday - 5 = Friday - 6 = Saturday However, the `AppointmentService.check_availability()` method in `appointments/services.py` was using: ```python day_of_week = start_time.strftime('%A').upper() # Returns 'MONDAY', 'TUESDAY', etc. ``` This created a string value like 'MONDAY' which was then used to query the database, causing a type mismatch error. ## Solution Updated the `check_availability()` and `get_calendar_slots()` methods in `appointments/services.py` to convert the date to the correct integer format: ```python # Convert Python's weekday() (0=Monday, 1=Tuesday, ..., 6=Sunday) # to Schedule.DayOfWeek format (0=Sunday, 1=Monday, ..., 6=Saturday) day_of_week_int = (start_time.weekday() + 1) % 7 ``` ### Conversion Logic - Python's `weekday()` returns: 0=Monday, 1=Tuesday, 2=Wednesday, 3=Thursday, 4=Friday, 5=Saturday, 6=Sunday - Schedule model expects: 0=Sunday, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday, 3=Wednesday, 4=Thursday, 5=Friday, 6=Saturday - Formula: `(weekday() + 1) % 7` shifts the values and wraps Sunday from 6 to 0 ### Example Conversions | Day | Python weekday() | Formula | Result (Schedule) | |-----|-----------------|---------|-------------------| | Monday | 0 | (0 + 1) % 7 | 1 | | Tuesday | 1 | (1 + 1) % 7 | 2 | | Wednesday | 2 | (2 + 1) % 7 | 3 | | Thursday | 3 | (3 + 1) % 7 | 4 | | Friday | 4 | (4 + 1) % 7 | 5 | | Saturday | 5 | (5 + 1) % 7 | 6 | | Sunday | 6 | (6 + 1) % 7 | 0 | ## Files Modified 1. **appointments/services.py** - Updated `AppointmentService.check_availability()` method (line ~120) - Updated `AppointmentService.get_calendar_slots()` method (line ~550) - Fixed logger warning message to use day names array 2. **appointments/forms.py** - Fixed `AddPatientToSessionForm.__init__()` method - Removed invalid `is_active=True` filter from Patient queryset (Patient model doesn't have this field) 3. **appointments/session_service.py** - Updated `add_patient_to_session()` method to check and set `finance_cleared` and `consent_verified` fields when adding a patient - This ensures the finance and consent status is immediately reflected in the participant list ## Testing The fix should now allow: 1. Creating group sessions without the day_of_week error 2. Checking provider availability correctly 3. Generating calendar slots properly 4. All appointment scheduling features to work with the correct day mapping ## Impact - **Group Session Creation**: Now works correctly - **Provider Availability Checking**: Now uses correct day mapping - **Calendar Slot Generation**: Now uses correct day mapping - **Backward Compatibility**: Maintained - no database changes required ## Date: November 16, 2025
