Bug Report

IMPORTANT:
Please follow this template strictly when reporting bugs. Providing detailed and accurate information helps the development team to understand and address the issue effectively.

App Version: [2.0.0-dev13]

Platform: [Windows]

Installation Method: [Direct Download]

Bug Description:
The Settings dialog says "Append creation date when todo is created". I have that turned off. When I complete a recurring task, the newly created task has the creation date at the front of the task.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Turn Append creation date off in settings
2. Create a daily recurring event
   --> Verify the creation date wasn't prepended
3. Complete that task
   --> Check the todo.txt file and you'll see the task now has a creation date prepended.

Expected Behavior:
When a recurring task is completed, the newly created future task should not have the creation date, since I have that setting turned off in Settings.

Actual Behavior:
All future tasks will have the creation date

The creation date is not being added to the new task, so that appears to be fixed! However, now the completed task has the completion date listed twice. This was my original task: Recurring test due:2023-10-10 rec:+1d This is the completed task: x 2023-10-10 2023-10-10 Recurring test due:2023-10-10 rec:+1d And this is the new task in todo.txt: Recurring test due:2023-10-11 rec:+1d

However, now the completed task has the completion date listed twice.

That is not a double completion date, it is actually creation and completion date. Unfortunately the todo.txt parser (jsTodoTxt in the latest version) refuses to add a completion date, if there is no creation date. As a workaround, everytime when a todo is marked as complete, a creation date needs to be added by sleek. So in case a todo did not already have a creation date, todays date will be added as creation date. As long as this behavior doesn't change upstream, we need to live with this workaround.

The issue has been raised here.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. Please consider this solved and close the bug. Eric
