Content Deployment's Next Run Changing Time

Not sure if anyone has come across this, but if you are using Content Deployment and you have a Scheduled Job and you go to the "Manage Content Deployment Paths and Jobs", every time you refresh the screen, the Next Run time changes! Not the hours or minutes, but the seconds.

If anyone knows why, can you please let me know cause I'm curious about it.

Content Deployment Scheduled time keeps changing

Not sure if anyone has come across this before, but if you go "Manage Content Deployment Paths and Jobs" and have a scheduled job for content deployment. If you refresh the screen, you will notice that the time it's scheduled for keeps changing. Not the hours or the minutes, but only the seconds. Keep refreshing it, and it keeps changing. Does anyone know why?

Error “Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes” during content deployment

I started getting an error saying “Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes” during content deployment. After a lot of research I finally found the problem.

If you are referencing fields via GUID and including { and }, that is what causes this error.

eg field id="ab78ad79-6a48-1182-c3e5-93a3ed3e7831"
not field id="{ab78ad79-6a48-1182-c3e5-93a3ed3e7831}"

After going through all the site and removing the { and }, I did a content deployment and it worked.
