I have been noticing the same thing recently, and I too have not been able to identify the variables that affect when this happens. I believe it happens when I recur a task on my iPhone, but I am not 100% certain of this. I usually notice that start date is set to "none" on my desktop application. For example, I will notice a recurring task on my desktop has a start date equal to "none" and a Due Date = 2/11/2012. To set the start date equal to the Due Date, I will press the "Recurrence" button, and then I will note that the Start Date is already set to the Due Date in the Task Recurrence dialog window (without me doing anything). I will press "OK" in the Task Recurrence window, taking me back to the Properties pane, and the Start Date is now set equal to the Due Date (again, without me actually selecting a Start Date). Over the past 2 weeks, I have noticed 4 different Recurring Tasks that had Start Dates, but had their Start Dates set to "none" after recurring. The characteristics of those 4 Recurring Tasks were as follows: recurs every 6 weeks (has subtasks) recurs every week (has subtasks) regenerate new task one week after completion (no subtasks) recurs every week (no subtasks) The advanced options for all fours of these recurring tasks were set to: Reset all subtasks to uncompleted Disable automatic recurrence I created 4 new test recurring tasks with identical characteristics to the four described above. I have recurred all of these test recurring tasks on my iPhone, but have been unable to reproduce the "Start Date set to none" problem. Yet this problem keeps occasionally happening for me. Anyone else having this problem? Ron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
