[Dba-office] UPDATE Outlook Series appointments don't persist in tasks

[John R Bartow]

I guess that's in the eye of the beholder. I don't expect a recurring task
to present but the next occurring date/time. That could be an adapted
thought process since that's what I've dealt with since 1997 ;-)

But I do find it strange that reoccurrence doesn't transfer, or at least,
that it doesn't prompt whether or not we want it to transfer.

When you create a recurring task by dragging a recurring appointment, you
must set the intervals manually -- Outlook doesn't create the recurrence for
you. I had expected you to, but it doesn't. Even if you do so, you'll only
see one task -- the current task. Outlook won't display subsequent tasks
until you complete the current one. I think it's an odd behavior, but that's
how it works.

I started to research it but lost the scent... I mean to try again this
weekend. I've also noticed that if I drag a series to another date, the
series doesn't update.

I would have expected it to transfer the occurrence but that doesn't happen
either.


This morning, I discovered something I wasn't expecting. I dragged a
recurring appointment to the Tasks window, expecting to see several tasks
pop up accordingly. However, Outlook created a task using only the single
dragged appointment. 

 

Seems odd to me, so I'm off to do a bit of research. If you've encountered
this and found a fix, please let me know. Thanks!
