Len, Sorry to hear that TeamTasks is misbehaving, but happy you took the time and effort to report the bug. Thanks! I'll take a look at it and try to get a bugfix out quickly.
Thanks too to Eric for the pointer to where the problem is likely to be. That will certainly speed things along. I'll post here when a fix is available and also send a message via http://twitter.com/teamtasks Cheers, Phil On Nov 6, 8:44 am, Eric Shulman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm using teamtasks - it's perfect except about 60% of the time a new > > task comes up with fields from the last task in the control instead of > > "undefined".
