If I understand it correctly, there are certain configurations of tasks which presents a design flaw in the sync functionality of MLO. I don't believe it's a reliability issue. The problem is that tasks are synced on a task – granularity basis. If you modify two properties of one task on different platforms, only one will be kept. When you sync to android, the one that will be kept depends on your android setting, not on which task property you actually wanted to keep. On the desktop, you always have the option of choosing.
Furthermore, Dwight has reported a situation in which modification of a task also impacts other tasks in its tree through auto recurrence. So in this manner, it's not just a single task that is being impacted. I haven't run into this myself, probably because I use it very few auto complete trees. Dwight, would you be willing to describe a small set of tasks which illustrates this issue, both so that we can understand it, and perhaps give Andrey a clearer picture of the problem? I have noticed a strong correlation between accurate and easy to reproduce problem descriptions and changes being enacted in MLO :-) unfortunately, this is probably a design issue and not easy to solve. However, there may be some kludge that could help a lot. Lisa Ron Stockfleth <ron.stockfl...@gmail.com> wrote: >Of course not, although it might be a platform-specific issue.
