Task-time-log-details/-notes are gone without saving before stopping timer

[n1smithy]

Hello, everyone,

sometimes details of task-time-logs are deleted just by saving the task. Mostly this happens on the iOS-app, but also in the Linux-desktop-app – and it's very annoying, because I usually have to write very detailled descriptions of what I've had to do.

I recognized this problem some time after I activated the app-data-cache. On the desktop-app data-cache is also active.

Any further information I can give?

Are you able to reproduce the problem in the React web app? It would help us understand if the problem is in the Flutter app or the backend.

I just can try to use the web app next time from my PC.

Finally I could explicitly reproduce the "error":

Start a task so the time-counter runs. Then add some notes into the time-log and stop the timer. The notes are gone. Seems one has to save the task before stopping the time-counter. Then the new added notes into the time-log are okay.

I would recommend to add a automatism if one stops the counter like a pop-up-message "Save changes before counter stopping?" -> Yes / No

Are you using the latest version of the app?

This one right now: v5.12.40-L183

Do you see a difference using the React web app?

[n1smithy]

Same under react:

You start a task-time-logging, add some notes and stop the tracker -> added notes are deleted.

Did you test this in the React demo or the React app in your install?

In the react-demo there's no field to enter task-time-log-notes. But the same behaviour appears in the flutter-demo.

Are you seeing a difference between the React demo and the React app on your server?

Wow, just wanted to add that, after activating time-log-details in the react-demo, the behaviour is the same on react-demo.

However, there's no difference between react and flutter on my server.

EDIT: Oh man, I missunderstood!

Of course the behaviour of react-demo and my own react-system is exactly the same. Sorry for the confusion!
