There seems to be a mismatch between the mac and iOS version. It makes for a horrible experience when attempting to check off my list - Repeating Tasks don’t get checked or disappear; they get a defer date - making it very difficult to see what’s been done.
Getting a defer date on repeating tasks is, of course, correct, but my perspective shows "available’ tasks. I’m used to omnifocus showing a check mark until I refresh/clear.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is this a feature, not a bug?
Or am I right and it’s the kids who are wrong?
OF allows newly completed tasks to sit (greyed out) until you choose to refresh, or change to another perspective. The idea is to allow you to double check you have checked off the correct item(s).
It can be annoying, but it’s even more annoying if they suddenly disappear and you have to go to ‘completed’ perspective to double check you checked off the correct item(s).
Other apps do something similar.
Absolutely, a task shouldn’t disappear when checked - although it kinda is disappearing if you think about it. I think it should, as is does on the desktop version, remain ticked. And I really think it shouldn’t show the future deferred task.
Right now, it’s doing both, the checked task has disappeared and the repeating deferred task is showing in a perspective that is set to hide (view options AVAILABLE).
Here’s how the iOS handles a repeating task in Tags view - which I think the Perspective view should be consistent with.
You mean annoyingly disappearing like if you change the one thing that put that task with your viewed perspective, by accident, and the task instantly disappears?
