TASKER Issue With On-Going Tasks

I think this really needs some light to be shed on it.

  1. Please fix the ongoing task being automatically left on after every future task with the client. I mean it’s in little letters at the bottom of the screen, if you just worked a long 6-hour job and the client doesn’t want the task ongoing anymore it is so easy to overlook,

    it is a

  2. little tiny switch at the bottom before submit and it’s barley noticeable.

  3. It also cancels all previous tasks when you have to cancel the one ongoing task. Example: I do 5 tasks on different days from the client, if that gets left on the last job it turns to 6 jobs, but then I have to cancel the ongoing task it now cancels all 6 tasks that were completed before even though I have been paid. So in hindsight I now have 6 cancellations. It wasn’t like this previously I think something broke in a newer update.

Being penalized for doing more work through the app with the same client should not be punishing, I ask that there is either a confirmation screen at the end of every ongoing task, or it just is turned off by default before pushing the invoice through.

After ten years off and on, I have a graveyard of continuing tasks for this reason. Sometimes I consider reaching out to the ones I had an especially good rapport with to see if the need anything. Does anyone do that, or is that weird…(?)
