Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open the Clock app, go to Alarm
2) The default option is "Occurs" in the current day of week and "Repeats" "One Time"
3) Hit Save.

It won't let you save the alarm, you'll be able to do that only if you change the day of week.

Tested on mako, r27, read-only, -proposed.

From IRC:
<nik90> Ursinha: the alarm page will only let you set alarms in the future
<nik90> Ursinha: perhaps by choosing today, the time is in the past

<nik90> Ursinha: currently one-time alarms can only be created for that week
<nik90> creating alarms on specific days 2 weeks later or a month later is still not supported due to the alarms SDK limitations

Testing with com.ubuntu.clock 1.0.300, looks like you can create alarms that happen later in that day.

What you can't do, for example, is at 10am Monday create a one-time alarm for next Monday 9am. The app throws up a "please select a time in the future" error message.

@Charles kerr, that's right. You can create alarms as the long as the time is in the future. So if the time now is 13:00, then you can set alarms for today which ring *after* 13:00.

@Ursula, can you update the bug title and description to reflect the situation. Do you want the ability to create one-time alarms for the next week or on a specific date? Or do you want the clock app to automatically set the alarm for the next week if the user set a time in the past?

The designer (Giorgio venturi) informed me that if you want to set single type alarms on a specific day in the week, you will need to use the calendar app for that. Alarms in the clock app will be recurring if you want to choose the days of the week. The only time you can set a single type alarm is to set an alarm in the next few minutes/hours of the same day.
