Completing recurring "after" events on BlackBerry
stanf says:
I submitted a support request a couple of days ago, but so far have only gotten an automated acknowledgement of receipt. I saw that I might get no response if this is covered in the help forums, so maybe I missed this one...
I set up a recurring event using "after" (i.e., the next occurrence comes so much time after this one's *completion* date, not after its original *scheduled* date).
The event sits there in my task list for some days, and I finally get around to finishing it, and mark it "completed," when it's several days overdue.
It seems to come up again rather soon, and I look into that and discover that it has recurred a week after it was originally *scheduled,* not after it was *completed.*
I have around 30 tasks recurring using "after," and around 10 of them have been completed once since I got my BlackBerry. Every last one of them has been scheduled to repeat the specified period of time after originally scheduled.
With further testing, I realized that this only happens if I complete them on the BlackBerry. If I go to RTM's web interface and complete them there, they are scheduled to repeat correctly.
I realize that the BlackBerry's tasks don't seem to have a "date completed" field like the RTM's tasks do. I wonder if this is the source of the trouble.
Has anyone gotten this to work correctly?
Thanks...

I just posted a topic with similar issue, but with my Blackberry is any recurring event. Regardless if I used after, every or whatever other methods there are. Even if I add a recurring event on the blackberry it functions correctly until it is synced with the rmilk server and then it can crash when i complete it. Strange...

a little update. If i delete task from Bberry if I delete first task it also freezes, but if I delete all including repeating for the one that is giving me issues then it works. When it freezes I normally have to reboot by taking the battery out and put back in, then By accident I held down power button which puts blackberry on standby and turned it back on and got the following
Uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_task_app(146) is not responding; process terminated
It is obvious that the task crashed the task application, but why would tasks added from rmilk with repeat every weekday cause this. I have narrowed it down to just the weekday ones, the once a week ones seem to work fine for me now.

jsimonelli - I'm having the same problem as you, though I think it's unrelated to the original poster's problem. It seems his issue revolves around tasks getting scheduled incorrectly from the BB, whereas ours is with crashing on the completion of recurring items. Hopefully they'll find a fix for this soon!

I am glad I am not the only one dealing with this. I wish I could fix it somehow as it is very frustrating, especially when I am in a meeting and they ask me when I plan to do such a thing, and maybe I just completed something else and I cant respond because I am waiting for blackberry to recover. Sad, that now I have a print out of rmilk for meetings just in case. I love my blackberry but I hate it sometimes!
