Does anyone here use both Tasks.org and have it synced to Nextcloud? I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong of expecting behavior that doesn’t exist or what.
I have Tasks.org installed on Android phone and tablet and signed into my NC instance that I have. If I create a task in NC Tasks, it will sync down to the Android devices in Tasks.org. But it won’t go the other way (tasks.org ->NC Tasks). I have a heap of reoccurring tasks in my phone app but it doesn’t show up in the web portal of NC Tasks. But if I mark a NC Task complete on my phone, it will reflect that change in NC Tasks.
To further muddy the waters: I found a Linux app called Errands that I signed into NC in order to Sync. If I create a task in Errands, it does indeed show up in the NC Tasks list. It’s like Tasks.org has a weird one way sync or something. I’ve scoured the settings and looked through open issues on Github but I’m not seeing anything that would ‘fix’ this, so I’m reaching out to my homies on Lemmy to see if anyone has suggestions.
Side NOTE: Errands is pretty neat, if you want a minimalist Tasks/Todo list app for Linux desktop.
Found the issue!
In order to have tasks created outside of NC tasks appear in NC, the category needs to be set as Tasks. At least I think that’s what the menu item is called. I’ve included a screenshot and until now didn’t notice that the categories I created in Tasks.org are under a “local lists” heading. No wonder they don’t sync. Seems like there should be a way to still set categories and have 2-way sync, but for now this is a working solution for me.
