FSRS Optimiser does not consider cards introduced with set due date

In essence, I believe the FSRS optimiser ignores cards which have a first review log that is from set due date (see image 1). I moved a selection of such cards to a test deck, and even though they had some reviews, FSRS reported no reviews to optimise upon (images 2, 3). Furthermore, in my original deck, TR would suggest some 900 reviews, but FSRS only optimises on 86 (I introduced most, but not all, cards in that deck via set due date)

So I should convert my SDD entries to learn/Easy via the debug console? Or what?

I’m unfortunately not at all experienced with the console, so if there’s any example of a script to do this that would be amazing

I wouldn’t advise dabbling in the console to change anything you’ve done in the past. You can leave those cards as they are.

Going forward however, instead of using SDD for this, use Cards > Grade Now, which has been a built-in feature since version 25.07.
