Creating a repeating task creates a duplicate task that is not repeating

I really love the idea of WeekPlan and subscribed to a Pro plan but the bugs are driving me insane and it is making it incredibly frustrating to use the app. Especially when it comes with creating, editing and deleting a repeating task. That function simple does not work well.


Now when I create a new repeating task it creates a duplicate that is not a repeating task but that appears every day of the week (like single occurrences that happen daily) in addition to the repeating task.

App:

It just happened to me again. I moved the first task to another time of day, that causes the page to refresh on its own and that creates a duplicate and the repeating task that I tried to move stays in the first position while I have now a duplicate in another time of day. I wish the page didn't refresh on its own. I wish I could make all changes, then click a "Refresh" or "Save changes" button.

There shouldn't be any refresh, unless you are working with repeating tasks?

I know that you have a small team and are working hard. I'm also aware of the new version. There is no list of steps though, the issues just appeared. Being able to delete repeating tasks seems to be fixed for now, thank you! But a quick couple from above:


After the change I suddenly have these tasks recurring each week day even though they're not repeating tasks, which means I can't delete one to delete the rest. But I do also have a repeating version of these tasks that I had setup before the change for each week day. The problem is really that because they're suddenly repeating every week day for eternity it would take me forever to manually delete each one:


The other problem after the change was that non-completed tasks (that weren't repeats) weren't rolling over to the next day like they used to. Can't tell until tomorrow if this has been fixed.


Thanks!!

Rollover should be fixed. I will check the repeating tasks not being linked to their repetition series.

Well, I have repeating and non repeating tasks. But it just happened again: If I try to move the task (which is a repeating task) that is in the first position (task positioned at start of day) to another time of day then the page refreshes itself and when it reloads the repeating task is still in the first position and then I end up with a duplicate non-repeating task (it doesn't have the little round arrow) in the lower position.

Could you please let me know your WeekPlan email address so that I can check your account? (maybe send me a private message)

How do I do that? I visited your profile and there is no button for a DM.

Giving up for now. The bug with the repeating tasks makes it too frustrating to use this app. Will continue with ToodleDo and will check in next week. It's just making me waste so much time. Good luck!

Thanks. I have so many duplicates that were created and that go in to future weeks that it would just take SO much time to delete them all, specially since there is no "Select All" function of something like that to do a mass delete.

I haven't been game to look into the future and check how many weeks have huge lists of duplicates spawned by each of my many repeating tasks. A way to mass-delete, or some kind of reset and repopulate, would be a boon...
