Description

I just ran into what I thought was a simple gotcha with bad feedback. I tried to make an existing task w/o a due date recurring. Task gives the wrong feedback (it says that the task is changed), but it does not make it recurring. This is, I think, a bug.

However, in trying to get some text to paste in here, I think I have bumped into a "I must think task works in a way that it does not" because I can not figure out how to get an existing task to become recurring. I have tried a few things and have failed. I made a very quick search through the wiki but did not find too much.

It is late, so I am going to post and then try to figure out of this is user error.

Hi there!

I can confirm that there is something fishy.

I just did the following

[ultrafredde@watertown .task]$ task add ONE
Created task 1
[ultrafredde@watertown .task]$ task add TWO due:100314 recur:2w
Created task 2
[ultrafredde@watertown .task]$ task long

As you can see task TWO gets created with the status "recurring" when entering directly due date and recurring frequency. Task ONE is created with a pending status and remains there though it has been changed to become a recurring task. This seems to be wrong.

THX for the report. We will look into this.

Code failed to change status from pending to recurring when a recur: attribute was created.
