Description

If a line with @repeat on it is synced (eg. between a project & daily note, or because it's part of a saved search), then:

  • completing the synced task in either note - if it has a 'generate repeats' trigger in the front matter or the 'generate repeats' command is run - creates two copies of the next instance and NO completed copy.
  • completing the synced task in either note - if it doesn't have a 'generate repeats' trigger in the front matter - does not trigger any new copies.

Expected behaviour: Task should show as completed and generate the next copy.

System

  • MacBook Pro (2019) and iPhone 12
  • Sonoma 14.5 / iOS 17.5.1
  • NotePlan 3.11.2
  • @repeat Extensions 0.7.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing completion of a synced @repeat task in both notes, with and without the front-matter “generate repeats” trigger, and with the “generate repeats” command. Trace the synced-task completion and repeat-generation entry points; done means one completed task remains and exactly one next instance is created in each case.
