Changes to due dates not updating Google calendar

I've noticed that whenever I make changes to a task's due date, it does not update via the iCal subscription to Google calendar. I've tried this several times over the last week with no luck.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

I believe that is an iCal sync issue. Not so much here, but I have had an annoying number of problems with G-Cal not properly syncing with Backpack in the same manner.

I don't know if it is due to a flaw in the iCal process or Google's implementation of it.

Google only syncs their iCal subscriptions once a day. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell Google to do it faster. If you want this feature, please let Google know.

The problems only pertain to changes made to the due date of existing tasks. The Google synchronization of new tasks is working fine.

In my tests, the changes I made to the due dates still have not updated on Google calendar even after 4 days. Synchronization of all new tasks is working and updating every 4 hours or so.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Very strange. Toodledo publishes the changes instantly, and other calendar apps don't have a problem picking up the changes. We don't know why Google has problems, but we'll keep looking into it to see if we can find a solution.

Is there any update to this? I'm still having the same issue with existing task due dates not updating. (Aug 3)

This must be a problem with Google, because I have checked and when you update a task's due-date, it is immediately posted to the iCal file. The next time Google reads the file they should get the new information. Since they aren't updating the task on their side, I think they must have a bug or maybe a reason why they don't change due-dates. You will need to ask Google for support on this one.

I'll harass Google then. If the calendar doesn't pickup the date change, it's kind of a deal breaker for me.

What i don't understand why this seems to only effect Toodledo. Jott seems to work fine.

How do you edit a due-date in Jott and have it show up in Google Calendar?

That's OUR question! :-)

If I scheduled an event to be due on a given Wednesday, but changed to a Friday, I should be able to change the due date in Toodledo and have the date shift in Gcal from Wednesday to Friday.

You mentioned that it works fine in Jott, and I was just asking for an explanation of this because I didn't know that Jott was capable of connecting to Gcal.

Hi to all.

I have the same issue too.
Is there any update to this?
Has anyone asked to Google?

Thanks in advance.
