    There is no workaround to this, scenario members have to be Reset every year for the Start and End Time parameters to be updated. Only alternative solution is to set up scenarios with ranges that are specific to each year's cycle, but that would mean creating 12 additional scenario members every year.

I think there are two basic options (others may have more) which are:

  1. Set up scenarios with ranges that are specific to each year's cycle:

2. Do not use a range and just have FCST01 with no range and reuse it every year (with the overlapping data you mentioned in your post)

If I am working with a budget or forecast cycle that spans more than one year, I lean towards option 1 where you name your scenarios per year and use ranges.  Then when you get into a new year, you can clear out the old data after a certain point if it is no longer needed.

If you want to keep the same scenario name AND use ranges, I think a scenario reset is the only way you will be able to change the range properties.
