reminders for tasks that I moved to the future do not disappear

m.steppes says:
Hi,

my problem is: I get a reminder (not email or sms, just the reminder in the message list on my android [HTC Desire Z]) for a task. I edit that task and change its due date to something in the future. But the reminder for this task do not disappear from the reminder list. I would expect, that it will disappear and come again when the new due date is reached.

Anything wrong with this?

Help appreciated because this is annoying,
regards,
Michael Steppes

When you reset the due date for a task that has already issued a reminder, the reminder will not disappear. Sorry for the inconvenience.

However, you will receive an updated reminder at the new due date. If you have cleared the original reminder, a new reminder will be issued. If you have not cleared the original reminder, that original reminder will be refreshed to show the new due date.

Hope that helps!

Thank you, this is clear now although not very smart.

Another point: if there are multiple reminders - how to clear one of them (for instance the one I moved to the future)? I only get the option to "clear all" at the bottom of the screen.

Regards,
Michael

You can't currently clear an individual task notification unless you complete the task. I've added this to our list to investigate; sorry for the inconvenience.
