Description

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a daily recurring task in Nextcloud Tasks
  2. Mark it as done in jtxBoard
  3. See it is still not marked done in Nextcloud Tasks

Switching what is done in which app leads to the same result.

Expected behavior

The task should also be marked as done in jtxBoard.

Actual behaviour

The task is not marked as done in jtxBoard.

Research direction

Start by reproducing completion of a daily recurring task in both Nextcloud Tasks and jtxBoard, then compare the behavior with the linked jtxBoard issue #2345. Trace the CalDAV synchronization path used by the Tasks app and determine which side fails to propagate completion; done means marking the task complete in either app also marks it complete in the other.
