that is how I started I think i added a task (also called testparent) on android in my inbox. i then added a note to it. and sync'd. then on my pc i changed the note and added children and re-occurance and then synced and everything was fine. then i started completing sub tasks and making changes and letting them reoccur and so on and so forth and i think (but i may be wrong) that i tried every combination but it didn't break
do you have that specific order that caused yours to break? or point me to the thread that has the order? now i have doubts that my data is intact on all that was pre-existing On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 8:50 AM, Lisa Stroyan <[email protected]> wrote: > Andrey has verified at least one of the defects(posted to another forum, > the beta forum I think) as an unfortunate result of the architecture.
