Guillermo Asiain

Hi @Guillermo Asiain and welcome to the community 👋🙂

I could reproduce the described behaviour on my Android device too. The task has been created on the mobile device, but has not been synced.

I'll inform the Meister-Team 👍️

Hi @Andrew Lapidus, is there any update on this issue? It's still there, unfortunately.

Now and then, after updating the app, I thought that it had been fixed: I recreated the widget, tested it, and it seemed to work.

But, I found out that it was only working fully while the app is running in the background. If I close the app (swipe it away) and create tasks via the widget, those tasks are broken: They do show in the app, but they don't get synced, and when trying to edit these tasks, the edit (e.g. the changed title) does show in the task board, but still no sync, and instead there is a volatile error toast stating:

You do not have permission to do this. The change were not saved. Please contact your team admin.

Hi,

is there any news regarding this issue? Given the current bug, the widget is very unreliable.

Even manual sync like described in https://support.meistertask.com/hc/de/articles/4465860641426-Synchronisations-Probleme-in-Android-l%C3%B6sen does not fix the issue.
