📄 Description

This is my first pull request ever. Suggestions on how to do better are welcome :)

When moving a repeating task in done bucket it doesn't update start/due/end dates. In the code it seems that you were trying to create a copy of the task to be used as oldTask that has Done set to false. Because task is a pointer, doing oldTask.Done = false changes the done state in task too, causing the updateDone function call to exit without changing dates.
My fix just uses golang native deep copy that is enough for updateDone calculations that should not need any pointer-property of Task.

Example with new behaviour:

  • Task configuration:
    immagine

  • Task in kanban:
    immagine

  • Task when moved to done column:
    immagine

Because the task doesn't go back to the original bucket immediately (it sticks in the done bucket until refresh), picking it up again from the done bucket and releasing it there causes the dates to update again. This might be a thing to consider but i feel it's unrelated from the fix in this pull request.
