Does anyone here use both Tasks.org and have it synced to Nextcloud? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong of expecting behavior that doesn't exist or what.

I have Tasks.org installed on Android phone and tablet and signed into my NC instance that I have. If I create a task in NC Tasks, it will sync down to the Android devices in Tasks.org. But it won't go the other way (tasks.org ->NC Tasks). I have a heap of reoccurring tasks in my phone app but it doesn't show up in the web portal of NC Tasks. But if I mark a NC Task complete on my phone, it will reflect that change in NC Tasks.

To further muddy the waters: I found a Linux app called Errands that I signed into NC in order to Sync. If I create a task in Errands, it does indeed show up in the NC Tasks list. It's like Tasks.org has a weird one way sync or something. I've scoured the settings and looked through open issues on Github but I'm not seeing anything that would 'fix' this, so I'm reaching out to my homies on Lemmy to see if anyone has suggestions.

Side NOTE: Errands is pretty neat, if you want a minimalist Tasks/Todo list app for Linux desktop.

Just double checked to make sure I have it set that way. What is weird is that it can apparently sync marking a task complete back to NC. Just can't get a task created in the phone app to show up in NC.

Not sure what else to suggest. Make sure that the task app is set to use your Nextcloud list by default? Normally it defaults to a local list. This is edited in the task defaults in settings.
