Description

I want to update a single field in the task, but the update call (from logs: POST /api/v1/tasks/1089) basically overwrites the task and all the attributes I don't explicitly pass are lost. I'd like to just update a single field like progress.

Vikunja Version

v1.0.0-rc2-212-59878741

Browser and version

latest Arc

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

I just realised that this also removes the assignee... I have a way to reassign the user but it results in a notification for every assignment and is really not a good way to manage this. Especially since there are seperate calls for assigning and deassigning users to tasks
