Feed from Microsoft To Do does not seem to work

kenC75

I use Diarium on both Windows 10 and Android. I recently enabled feeds from both "System calendar" and "Microsoft ToDo".
System calendar events are correctly displayed in Diarium for both Windows and Android but Microsoft ToDo events are not displayed.
I have tried disabling both feeds and then re-enabling just Microsoft ToDo - the events are still not displayed.
I also tried signing out of Microsoft ToDo and then signing back in.

When I enable the Microsoft ToDo feed, the system requests my Microsoft email address and also asks whether Diarium was downloaded from a trusted source. It does not request a password.

I realise that ToDo events will only be displayed on dates corresponding to their Due dates.
Is this a bug or am I overlooking something?

There is a very trivial but longstanding bug in the Windows app - not worthy of a separate post.
In Timeline, the "Today" button always selects yesterday's date instead of today's.

To Dos will displayed on the dates finished.
If that isn't the case as well, please provide additional information as mentioned here

You are correct, it is working as intended. ToDo tasks are displayed in Diarium on the date when they are set as "Completed". I delete tasks as soon as they are completed so none were ever displayed.

I had anticipated that, like Calendar entries, ToDo tasks would be displayed when they reached their Due date.
Thanks for the clarification.

I've just seen this. For me they were working but now all completed To Do's have disappeared from my diary! I can see in Microsoft To Do that I completed today but they are not appearing. I have disabled and enabled the Microsoft To Do feed and resynced Diarium and Microsoft To Do but the completed tasks still do not appear.

Andrew H. I am unable to reproduce this but will add more logging on the next app version as I also wrote here.

After adding the logging, I now found a first possible reason. The problem can be caused if a user has 5 or more todo-lists in Microsoft ToDo. Diarium does one web request, asking for all todos from all the lists. Apparently, this triggers a rate-limit error - even though the documented rate limit is much higher (20).
I will split up the requests so Diarium only requests todos from max 5 lists at a time. There might still be cases where not all todos are shown, e.g. when quickly navigating between pages. Overall, I expect much less problems and more displayed todos with the next update 🙂
