Known Limitations or Bugs
adding completely new task-lists / -categories or effecting a rename of existing task-categories currently requires manual intervention in the AccountManager settings:
Settings → Accounts → murena Account → My Account → Additional settings for account → (chose large account tile) → (chose “CALENDAR” tab) → either upper right three-dot Menu → Refresh calendar list OR second from bottom with folder-update-icon
task repeat / recurrence not (yet) supported
About the Project

Hello, thanks for this introduction to use tasks. I have created several lists locally but now I added the Ecloud account to the phone and would like to sync these lists. Is it possible to change the lists into sync lists or do I have to start over? Also, I did not find a way to make a synching list through the app, can I only create these through the browser?
I dont know if it helps your case, but now, with “deck” (app in the eCloud) you can manage task lists. I dont know if it is possible too with the deck client apps available, but give it a try.
Just remember to refresh your calendar list in the config -> account -> /e/user -> manager account -> caldav tab -> 3dots -> update calendar list, in your phone. Then refresh the lists in the task app.
Hi. You have to choose witch apps will apear. In eCloud, click in the picture-profile in up-right corner (in the side of the ring bell notification). Then choose configuration. Then “classify apps”.
The list ‘Personal’ that was there to start with is syncing between my phone and my /e/ account in the browser. Any items I add on one appear on the other.
But if I make a new list on the browser it does not appear on my phone, and conversely if I make it on my phone it says ‘local’ and does not appear on the browser. The ‘Personal’ list has my e.email address underneath it instead of ‘local’.
I can’t see a way to change anything, the settings for a list only allow me to change the name and colour.
Any ideas?
I have the same problem. I would like lists other than the default “Personal” to sync to the cloud and be visible from my laptop, and viceversa.
Anyone knows if this is possible and how to do it?
Hello,
I had the same problem, I wanted to synchronize with another nexcloud account. It seems that the Tasks App is closed with e.cloud. There is certainly a good reason but it would be nice to tell us why
I installed from F-Droid : DAVx5 and Open Tasks, and my problem is solved.
And I ignore Tasks App.
I got it to work when you add your nextcloud account as a webDAV account in your phones settings you can click on it there on Account extra settings then their is another account list where you have to click on the account and then you should find all your tasks and calendars where you can choose which to sync
I think a “current limitations” or “known bugs” section is warranted for Tasks, as at least 2 users in this thread struggled with getting newly created or renamed task-categories/-lists from the remote onto their device. @Manoj, are you fine with me editing this in?
