Thanks for the followup Peter. Interesting the timing of how issues surface.
We've been working on a Toodledo sync module for the desktop and discovered that API. We updated our sync code in both Appigo Sync and Todo and will have that fix in the next update. Since we fixed that it's been reported here and Jake contacted us from Toodledo. Originally Toodledo didn't support setting the completion date via an API and would only set the date when the task was synced with the completed flag. That is the way Todo has been handling completed tasks synced to Toodledo since we first shipped. The problem was exasperated with the most recent updated because with the update Todo forced a full sync of tasks in order to pick up any starred tasks that had previously been synced. That caused the Toodledo completion dates to be synced down to the device as well. That's also why the initial sync after the update took longer. Until that update comes out the best solution is to sync at least once a day so the completion dates are set to the same day you completed them on rather than the day you synced them on. Thanks, let us know any additional information you see on this issue. -Calvin On Feb 18, 3:25 pm, PeterW <[email protected]> wrote: > On Feb 18, 4:23 pm, ilya <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I have the same problem.
