[Feature Request] Set a default list

[petitssuisses]

This is a feature request !

Expected behaviour

Having a parameter which would allow the default list on which to enter a task after having entered in the Tasks windows

Actual behaviour

When opening the Tasks screen, the focus for a default task to be entered seems to be the first in the alphabetical order of all the calendars.

Second that! Tasks automatically selects the list that is the least used one in my case.

@borghal Does it? At least I just can't figure out how they are sorted.

For some time I created a _default list, and it was on top of the list. It was hacky, but it worked.
Then gpegasso went up, don't know why.
Now I was trying with _, _a. 1, a, aaaa, and nothing alphabetical works.
And I also tried adding asdf to the tasks list, in hope it was as you said the last used list, but the list didn't went up either.

So until we have this, does someone know what is the default ordering behavior?

For reference, I'm using the Nextcloud 12.0.1 apache image with postgresql as the DB.

Tasks does not order the lists at all, it just uses the order which is supplied by the Nextcloud server, but I cannot tell how the server sorts them.

Hence, having a chooseable default list looks like a usefull idea.

Edit: Maybe as a faster work-around we could just sort the lists alphabetically inside the app.

Another effect I see with nextcloud 13 is, that the automatically created "birthday calendar from contacts" is placed first in my calendar list (language set to german):

• contact birthdays
• martin
• bima

Haven't even tried to create a task in contact birthdays.

[raimund-schluessler]

Birthday calendar is not supposed to show up in Tasks at all. This should've been fixed in server ages ago.

Chosing a default list is implemented in the vue branch with a27f931 and will be available once the app rewrite is ready.

[raimund-schluessler]

Implemented with #194.
