Date Time Source with Weekly plan not acting as expected

It seems like when I am using the Weekly option for the Date Time Source and Time Mode "Use Model Start Date/Time" it doesn't use week day to determine when to jump into the arrival DateTimeSource.fsmschedule.

In the attached model I have set the model start to Sunday, but it starts generating tokens immidiately?

@Lars Christian J2, it looks like this is a bug. From what I can tell from clicking on the "Advanced" button, the model always wants to start on a Monday, regardless of what day you select when using the Model Date/Time in the "Time Mode" picklist.

Are you able to start on a Monday for the sake of getting your model to work? If not, we can try to offset things so that it behaves correctly.

@Phil BoBo @Jordan Johnson For what it's worth, I checked this behavior in a 2019 model and it still has the same issue. Was this intentional?

Thanks @tanner.p. I made a work around. I was just wondering why this bug is still present several years after it was reported the first time.
