Does anyone here use both Tasks.org and have it synced to Nextcloud? I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong of expecting behavior that doesn't exist or what.

I have Tasks.org installed on Android phone and tablet and signed into my NC instance that I have. If I create a task in NC Tasks, it will sync down to the Android devices in Tasks.org. But it won't go the other way (tasks.org ->NC Tasks). I have a heap of reoccurring tasks in my phone app but it doesn't show up in the web portal of NC Tasks. But if I mark a NC Task complete on my phone, it will reflect that change in NC Tasks.

To further muddy the waters: I found a Linux app called Errands that I signed into NC in order to Sync. If I create a task in Errands, it does indeed show up in the NC Tasks list. It's like Tasks.org has a weird one way sync or something. I've scoured the settings and looked through open issues on Github but I'm not seeing anything that would 'fix' this, so I'm reaching out to my homies on Lemmy to see if anyone has suggestions.

Side NOTE: Errands is pretty neat, if you want a minimalist Tasks/Todo list app for Linux desktop.

I have my tasks.org set to CalDAV sync, then using my Nextcloud info as normal for the credentials with Nextcloud selected as server type. I've found that owncloud also works just as well for that setting. That along with the CalDAV address should be it for the Tasks.org app itself. I believe you'll also need the DAVx5 app to sync the CalDAV info this way, but it seemed to work better for me than the straight up Nextcloud connection.
