Unwanted Duplicate Tasks, linked togther

Hello

I occasionally get duplicate tasks, folders, projects etc. The duplication can occur on any level. I'm not sure how this duplication happens, but I can't delete the duplicates without deleting the original. Somehow they are linked together. It seems that maybe an indexing error can occur in the database, but I see no database repair functions to correct the situation.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I use both the desktop version and MLO Android 2, however I remember this happening prior to the new release.

Thanks for any help

Been using both for many years and can't remember seeing this. Can you create a version of the database you are willing to send to support? Do you have an old database from many years ago perhaps?

Me neither. The only assumption that I can make: check your view whether you have Hierarchy:YES and under "config", the "include child items" enabled AND the "continue searching in branch after main filter match".

This might be the only "functionality" that could lead to those "duplicated / linked" tasks that you are talking about.

Well, I do have Hierarchy = Yes and to include child items, however not continue searching in branch after main match....

If you double click to see the task in outline view on Windows does it go to the same task in the tree? If you look at properties, task details, are they the same creation date? If so, it's likely they are the same task and the view is set up to show that task twice. For example a task with multiple contexts will show up multiple times in tasks by context, it's not a duplicate, it just meets the criteria for the filter in both cases.
