Description

If you have items in a task list in the description of a task with the same name, Vikunja marks them all when it is marked as complete. The image below shows the example on the test site. If I create a task list with tasks "food, other food, etc" and sub tasks of "eggs" in each of those parent tasks, when I mark "eggs" in one as being done, Vikunja also marks the other "eggs" as done.

Steps:

Create a task list

  • food
    • eggs
    • bread
    • milk
  • other food
    • eggs
    • bread
    • milk
  • etc
    • bread
    • milk
    • eggs

Save the task list in the description. Mark "eggs" as done.

Expected behavior: only that single task checkbox is marked

Actual behavior: all tasks named "eggs" are marked as done, sometimes inconsistently

Vikunja Version

v0.24.6

Browser and version

Librewolf 138.0.4

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

Yes

This is caused by the same problem as https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/293, closing in favour of that
