Collapsibles allow you to show/hide content on a page that may be secondary to the page's primary content. They have four fields that can be set: `title`, `description`, `icon`, and an `open` flag (which makes the collapsible element open by default).

Available options for `icon` are `"list"`, `"view"`, `"question"`, and `"code"`.
Available options for `icon`:
- `"list"`
- `"view"`
- `"question"`
- `"code"`
- `"warning"`

### Guild Scheduled Event Recurrence Rule Object
Discord's recurrence rule is a subset of the behaviors [defined in the iCalendar RFC](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5545) and implemented by [python's dateutil rrule](https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html)

###### Guild Scheduled Event Recurrence Rule Structure

| frequency | [recurrence rule - frequency](#DOCS_RESOURCES_GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT/guild-scheduled-event-recurrence-rule-object-guild-scheduled-event-recurrence-rule-frequency) object | How often the event occurs |
| interval | int | The spacing between the events, defined by `frequency`. For example, `frecency` of `WEEKLY` and an `interval` of `2` would be "every-other week" |
| by_weekday | ?array of [recurrence rule - weekday](#DOCS_RESOURCES_GUILD_SCHEDULED_EVENT/guild-scheduled-event-recurrence-rule-object-guild-scheduled-event-recurrence-rule-weekday) | Set of specific days within a week for the event to recur on |

| by_month_day | ?array of int | Set of specific dates within a month to recur on |
| by_year_day \[1\] | ?array of int | Set of days within a year to recur on (1-364) |
| count \[1\] | ?int | The total amount of times that the event is allowed to recur before stopping |

\[1\] - Cannot be set externally currently.

<Collapsible title="System limitations" description="Recurrence rules are powerful, but they have some specific restrictions" icon="warning">
The current system limitations are present due to how reoccurring event data needs to be displayed in the client.
In the future, we would like to open the system up to have fewer / none of these restrictions.

###### The following fields cannot be set by the client / application
- `count`
- `end`
- `by_year_day`

###### The following combinations are mutually exclusive
- `by_weekday`
- `by_n_weekday`
- `by_month` + `by_month_day`

###### `by_weekday`
- Only valid for daily and weekly events (`frequency` of `DAILY` (`0`) or `WEEKLY` (`1`))
- when used in a daily event (`frequency` is `DAILY` (`0`))
- The values present in the `by_weekday` event must be a "known set" of weekdays.
- The following are current allowed "sets"
- Monday - Friday (`[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]`)
- Tuesday - Saturday (`[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`)
- Sunday - Thursday (`[6, 0, 1, 2, 3]`)
- Friday & Saturday (`[4, 5]`)
- Saturday & Sunday (`[5, 6]`)
- Sunday & Monday (`[6, 0]`)

one interesting thing we could note here is that we store the times in UTC. This means that a user in a different timezone may schedule an event for their Saturday/Sunday but this will actually be stored as Sunday/Monday. That's why those types of sets are allowed.

- when used in a weekly event (`frequency` is `WEEKLY` (`1`))
- `by_weekday` array currently can only be a length of `1`
- i.e: You can only select a single day within a week to have a recurring event on
- If you wish to have multiple days within a week have a recurring event, please use a `frequency` of `DAILY`
- Also, see `interval` below for "every-other" week information

###### `by_n_weekday`
- Only valid for monthly events (`frequency` of `MONTHLY` (`1`))
- `by_n_weekday` array currently can only be a length of `1`
- i.e: You can only select a single day within a month to have a recurring event on

###### `by_month` and `by_month_day`
- Only valid for annual event (`frequency` is `YEARLY` (`0`))
- both `by_month` and `by_month_day` must be provided
- both `by_month` and `by_month_day` arrays must have a length of `1`
- (i.e: You can only set a single date for annual events)

###### `interval` can only be set to a value other than `1` when `frequency` is set to `WEEKLY` (`1`)
- In this situation, interval can be set to `2`
- This allowance enables "every-other week" events
- Due to the limitations placed on `by_weekday` this means that if you wish to use "every-other week" functionality
you can only do so for a single day.
