Hi Folks, Bryan and I were having a conversation about recurrence today and I realized we're approaching a confusing moment for recurrence and triage status.
Right now, in the table view, you can't see occurrences, only the master event of a recurring series. Since we can only set triage in the table view, we can leave triage status (and the associated reminders to manipulate that status as time passes) effecting only the master for now. However, we're fast approaching the time when triage status is visible in the Detail View, so we'll be able to see it for individual occurrences. How should triage status work in the detail view for occurrences? How is a recurring event's "next important time" effected by occurrences? There's been talk in the past of displaying a few occurrences and modifications along with masters, but making this work well is a major undertaking and we haven't prioritized it. The first thing that comes to mind for me is that perhaps instead of always displaying the master, we want to display the next relevant occurrence in the table view, taking the current time and triage status into account. I expect doing that would be quite a bit of work, but at least it wouldn't involve varying numbers of rows per item like displaying several occurrences alongside a master would.
