Dismssing alarms on recurring tasks removes alarm for all future occurences?

[fpostma]

Was wondering if this is intended behaviour;

Daily Recurring Task with alarm on say 17:00.
If I *dismiss* (not complete) the alarm popup I get for it, the alarm setting for the entire tasks is removed. Since this is recurring task that means I won't get alarms on future tasks, which is not what I want.

Can you make 'dismiss' only dismiss the current alarm of a recurring task? Please ??

Thomas can you confirm above behavior is a bug and will be fixed or should I mail a feature request to get it to work like I think it should?

Frans,

Just to clarify, once you dismiss the alarm, are you then completing the instance of the task for that day? It would still need the complete to regenerate the next instance of the task. So far this is generating the alarm on the next one, after dismissing the alarm on the current days task then completing it.

Huh.. I tried reproducing problem just now and all looks now?

Not sure how/where it got messed up the last time I used it. I did see it remove the alarm for sure, which is expected for that day when dismissing it, and I'm fairly sure I didn't get the alert for it next day. But looking at it now I can see Deja correctly recreating the next day task WITH alarm, exactly as I want.

Might have been an issue with dismissing task or completing task in outlook, not sure. Currently it works as expected/wanted. Which is nice but feels like I've wasted your time, sorry!

If it ever re-occurs I'll make sure to test it more with repro-steps.
