I've got a few tasks setting to repeat from date of completion.  They are also assigned a due time.  When I complete them, they are generating a new task at bizarre times.  Not the same time I completed them.  Not the same time they were originally on my calendar (which is what I would like).  Just bizarre times.

Any thoughts on this?  What I want is for them to regenerate at the same time they were set for or with no time.  Even if they regenerated for the time I hit the complete button that would be fine.  But seeking them out in 3AM slots is odd.

Thanks!

Hi Brea - 

Thanks for reporting this issue.  We've investigated the situation, and it turns out there is a bug in how the next instance of a repeating task is generated when marked complete from the iOS app.

On GQueues on the web or the Android app, when you mark your repeating task complete, if will find the next date based on the pattern set, but keep the same time that you originally set.

For instance, let's say there is a task with a due date of Jan 20 at 5pm, set to repeat every 1 day from completion date.  If you mark this complete on the web today (Jan 27th), the next instance will be Jan 28th at 5pm.

If you mark it complete on the iOS app the next instance will be Jan 28th, with the time you marked it complete today (except its not adjusted for your timezone).  This is why you have been seeing weird times for your new tasks.  

We will get this bug fixed in the next update to the iOS app.

Thanks again for reporting this problem!

Cameron
