Duplicate event -> subtasks are linked?
K
Kevin
My use case: I want to create a 30 min exercise task, with a specific label, for 6pm each day. But put different exercises in the subtasks. I am doing this via duplication, not recurring event.
System: Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit), macOS 12.4
Behavior:
When I duplicate the original 'parent' task, I can make changes to the title, tag, and time without it affecting the 'child' tasks, or vice versa.
But there is unexpected behavior regarding subtasks.
If I go to the child task and delete the subtasks and create new ones, the first new subtask ends up overwriting the subtasks in the parent task. In may also overwrite additional subtasks too under some circumstances. Overall, subtasks in duplicated tasks seems a bit buggy. There is also some formatting weirdness where the subtasks get larger vertical padding if changes are made to the parent?
Hope this can be replicated.

Hey Kevin, thanks for reporting this.
I'm having hard time reproducing this on my end. Here are some follow up questions that could help me reproduce it:
- Are you doing the duplication by "right clicking" the task card and hitting duplicate or when you click the task and the modal pops up, clicking the three dot menu at the top right and duplicating from there
- When deleting a subtask, are you hitting backspace to do the deletion or manually deleting
- You aren't doing any actions on mobile correct? This is purely on Firefox on your Mac?

Chris: I think it might be safe to close this one. I just tried to reproduce based on my original post but could not.
