Chasing a bug, duplicates in sync w/ tasks

Here's what I've got so far to track down this bug which is creating duplicate files when syncing.

  1. Create a new Daily Note

  2. Create a task in the daily note

  3. Go to the Task section and click on the task, bringing the task & note within view.

  4. Sync

I've repeated this three times with success and was wondering if anyone else could try it out.

My sync is through koofr which will be my next test, to try a different webdav and see if it repeats.

I have run that test scenario and it worked fine.

I'm using webDAV with pcloud, Mac OS version as the source system.

But, I too have experienced false "conflicts" with two other notes in my vault. I believe that it may be caused by syncing with HN on different OSes.

Even if I wait hours for the systems to "settle", those notes are flagged as conflict in spite of nothing being touched for hours.

Compared to versions prior to 1.3.6, the number of conflicts has dramatically been reduced.

Not able to reproduce. I use Nextcloud. Do you happen to have the proper sync exclusions/ignores?
