Wrong task is marked done when viewing task via notification

[Hexogen]

[Edit] Sort of fixed. Settings > Alarms > Reset Alarms fixed the wrong task being marked as done. The task still stays in notification center until I clear it myself though. It'd be nice if it disappeared automatically after you deal with it, like with all the first-party apps.

When I get a notification from 2Do and slide to open 2Do and view the task related to the notification, I get the standard options (snooze, view, okay). When I hit view it goes into the task details screen, but when I mark it as done using the checkmark at the bottom, it either marks a completely different task as done or marks nothing at all. It works fine when I open 2Do myself and go into the details screen. It's only when I hit 'view' via local notifications that I have this problem.

My workaround is to hit 'okay' and mark the task done from there instead of having the app take me into the details screen. This method keeps 2Do's notifications in notification center even after I view them (either manually or from notification center/lock screen) and mark them as completed. I have to clear the notifications from notification center manually, which is annoying. Not sure if 2.6.1 will fix this whenever Apple gets around to approving it, but it's been happening for a while. It just didn't bother me too much until I installed iOS 5.

That's really odd. Please keep an eye on this behaviour, and if you see it happening again, either post something here or send a support request to the devs.

Acting up again already. Is http://www.guidedways.com/kb/contact-us.php the right place to send a support request?

I completely agree with you. I don't understand why Apple won't allow third-party apps to behave in the same way as their own apps behave. I'm quite certain that the 2Do devs, along with every other dev of third-party apps, would take advantage of that capability if Apple were to allow them to.

Oh, so it's an Apple thing then. Seems like a pretty big oversight.

I have a similar problem, I cannot get notifications off of the notification center. I tap one to open it. It opens in 2do and the notification pops up to snooze, view, or ok. No matter what I choose, I am in 2do at the task details. I check it to mark done. It never leaves the notification center list. I suppose it would leave if I deleted it, or if I closed 2do completely from the notification center, but then I wouldn't be able to see all of my other tasks that haven't been done. I really hope this is fixed in the new update.

I am 100% certain that this is how Apple has designed things, so I wouldn't expect it to be "fixed" in the next update of 2do, because there is absolutely nothing the 2do developers can do to change the behavior. Like all other developers of third-party apps, they have to live with Apples's design limitations.

So, rch7279, it would perhaps be more accurate to say that you dislike the way Apple handles notifications for apps other than their own; and the only possible course of action is for you (and others who dislike this, myself included) to send feedback to Apple. I have a feeling, based on things the forum moderator has said here, that the 2Do team would join that line if they thought it would do any good!

It is a 2do problem. Notifications from the notification center can be closed. Groupon for example, you tap the notification, it opens groupon, etc. The next time you open NC, the notification is gone. I understand that it's Apple's limitations that stop 2do from being able to list upcoming events without alarms. It is 2do that needs be able to remove their notification from NC when it has been checked complete, opened, or deleted.
