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.

I believe the duplicates have been fixed.

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.

We are working on a solution, sorry for the delay.

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...

Yes we are looking into this.

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!

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.

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

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.
