Description

Repeating tasks set to repeating on Vikunja's end are parsed weirdly on tasks.org's end ("FREQ=SECONDLY;INTERVAL=86400", instead of just "Repeats daily"). When saved after opening on tasks.org, the repetition is deleted (presumably it's sent weirdly back and Vikunja doesn't parse it). Setting it on tasks.org's end... might work, might not. Hard to tell.

This is kind of an upstream issue and a Vikunja one at the same time:

  • Vikunja only has a time interval frequency. 86400 seconds are one day. On the web frontend, we calculate that so that it matches.
  • Tasks.org expects a FREQ=DAYLY;INTERVAL=1 - Vikunja does not support that.
