Need to investigate if and how OX supports recurring tasks

Hello Aluxnimm,

thanks for the fast reply.

I think OX supports recurring tasks.
On the web interface of Open-Xchange I can create recurring tasks,
but they are not synchronized with Outlook.

If you need more information just ask.

Just tested this, it seems recurring tasks are not exposed via the CalDAV API. if I create such a task in OX it's not available in the collection, if I change the same task back to non recurring it gets synced. When trying to sync tasks with RRULE to the server, OX responds with 400 Bad Request. So I guess, they are not supported via CalDAV. I will ask the OX developers if this is by design.

Hi Aluxnimm,
any answer from OX yet?

I hope it is a bug (not by design) and they will solve it with a update? :-)

According to OX recurring tasks are not supported via CalDAV, since OX uses a different internal data model. So nothing we can do on our side atm.
I suggest turning off syncing of recurring tasks from Outlook in the advanced settings/task mapping configuration to avoid the error.

As a workaround you can create individual tasks or use recurring events in a seperate calendar collection used for tasks.
