Question: Permanently locking tasks

[BRXL1]

OK,

since it will take a while for Dan to look into and find a solution for dependencies of main and subtasks with recurring dependencies I applied a temporary solution for my shared todolist.

I removed the due date from the main tasks so it is more or less only a title for its subtasks. Also I locked the main/title tasks so nobody can check them and the subtasks with it.

So far so good. But I noticed that my title/main tasks don't stay locked after a while (They are not getting unlocked intentionally by other users. I hid this in their views so it can't happen unintentionally). Is the lock not permanently or gets reset when a list is reloaded, changed or newly opened etc.?

How can I make the lock stick?

[.dan.g.]

The 'lock' functionality is new to 7.2, so if anyone accessing your tasklist is still using 7.1 then the lock attribute will be lost whenever they save the tasklist.

I don't think that's it.

I have updated all of the other users todolist executables and data to the newest beta.

But the locks for the tasks have again disappeared when I opened my version of the shared todolist today.

[.dan.g.]

There's nothing obvious in the code but of course that doesn't mean it's not a bug.

I'll add some locks to my tasklists and see if they disappear.

Completely unable to reproduce
