Tasks in Calendar - unable to change date / time

Post by delia todd »

For the last few days I've been unable to change the date and time in the Tasks (Events is OK).

It doesn't matter if I type the required date or select from the drop downs, it immediately reverts to the current date and time.

Thunderbird version 91.4.0

Tasks in a calendar on the computer, on the network, Google calendar using the Provider for Google Calendar extension, other network location?

My crystal ball is in the shop, getting filled with snow for the holidays.

Sorry.... I just don't understand what you're talking about.

It's Thunderbird's Calendar - Tasks aren't allowing me to change the time and date.

Did you put a check mark in the Start box next to the date?

Oh stuff!!! LOL

I'd not done a Task for a while, as I'd got them all set up ages ago for my pill regime (it's complicated and I could just about open a chemist shop!).

Completely forgot about that checkbox.

Thanks got it now and it seems to be fine.

I'd been Googling for days and never found the answer, suppose no-one else is as dim as me.

Thanks again Walt.

You're welcome and if it makes you feel better I've been told I am a fool and burden to myself in a support newsgroup.
