Reordering tasks in List view can change the task's list

Support

Hey, I've noticed on MacOS that if I drag a task in 'List - Day' view to reorder the tasks for the day, it can result in the task being assigned to a different list. To reproduce:

  1. Have two lists - Home and Work
  2. Have 3 Home items at the top of the 'List - Day' view
  3. Have some Work items at the bottom of the 'List - Day' view
  4. Drag & drop one of the Work items further up the 'List - Day' view because I want to work on it sooner
  5. The Work item is moved to the Home list as part of the drag & drop

Maybe this is somehow related to the way I've configured the UI through the various options(?), but it's expected behaviour.

Hi @tickoff, thanks for using GoodTask.

Drag and drop change values according to sort options. If you want to keep list unchanged, check option 'Settings - Sort - Don't change list'.

Thanks!

Hi,

I seem to be struggling to get drag and drop and auto list changes to work as I want. I have abandoned setting task times and use only dates now to use task order, by day, to schedule my tasks for any given day, instead of detailed time blocking. The only problem I have is the task changes list when dragged and dropped. I have tried the Do Not Change List setting in Sort Settings, but then the task will not even drag and drop. Not sure if this is to do with the list sort order, but all options seem to have the same issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Andrew

You may remove List Order in sort options by using Custom and then drag and drop to change the order of tasks as you want. Thanks!
