Can't set task due time and Google Tasks due time isn't synchronized
-
Hello,
I've started using Vivaldi a few weeks ago and I love it so far. I've set up my Google calendars including the task ones and tasks show up.But if I create a task in Google Tasks and set a time for it, the time does not show in Vivaldi. It is set for full day and I can't uncheck the checkbox in the task.
If I try to create a task in Vivaldi, I have the same issue. I can't uncheck the checkbox allowing me to set a due time. It stays checked as a full day task.
I haven't really found a matching report in this forum or searching the web, is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in regard.
Vivaldi: 7.0.3495.27 (Stable channel) (64-Bit)
Operating System: Windows 11 Version 24H2 (Build 26100.2605) -
I've now reported this as a bug, the report id is VB-112892.

Aye, noticed same problem,
7.1.3570.50 (Stable channel) (64-bit)
Not fixed yet. Looks like the workaround is manage tasks in Google, and use Vivaldi just to check-off completed (if that even, presuming that nuisance all day notification I just noticed was an editing fluke) for the time being.
Able to add Google Tasks as a web panel, and it seems well-suited for that with its narrow aspect ratio design

The devs are aware and they have been able to reproduce this behavior. The bug is noted, but I haven't heard any news yet. They stated it can take a while until it gets adressed, which is understandable.
As you suggested, I am, too, creating Tasks in Google in the meantime. -

The bug is closed as Won't fix.
Google restricted third party clients, no idea if other clients can do.

Thanks for the heads-up. Thats sad to hear, but I am yet again not surprised by Googles policies making the user experience as bad as possible. -
That sounds like a solution from somebody who doesn't use 'Tasks'.
Have been noodling with it here the last half-hour or so, and it appears to me, if anything, Google simplified the organization and presentation of Tasks, integrating more tightly with Calendar.
So if the dev team is abandoning Tasks integration, seems like they're going to have to abandon Calendar integration as well.
Which is not what I HOPE will happen, but I don't have time for several rounds of Google-developer horse hockey, and think I'm just going to take the Vivaldi Calendar/Mail/Task icons off my sidebar (or ignore them altogether if removal not possible) and use Google Calendar/Gmail/Tasks web panels instead.
There, done, path forward mapped, I got more work and better things to do!

@mib2berlin Good to know.. As if I needed another reason to drop google from my life. Unfortunately Uni requires I keep it around for now

If you are a PhD engineer, you can then leave it behind.
