      Status Update 22 April 2020

      Hi everyone,

      Thank you again for your feedback as we worked on fixing the original version of this bug related to duplicating tasks when copying a page. We recognize that some of you are experiencing a related bug, where the task report macro is currently duplicating some tasks depending on how its pagination is set. We are tracking reports of this bug's occurrence on at https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-72026. You can follow along the ticket there as the source of truth. Thank you again for your feedback!

      Best,

      Issue Summary

      Working with tasks on Confluence is a great way to keep tracking our daily job! Sometimes, on an existing page that already contains a determined format, we can copy it and then just change the tasks' description, in order to make our life easier - though, doing this is currently making the Task Report macro to behave unexpectedly.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page called Report and add a Task Report macro;
      2. In the same space you created the above page, create a new one called Tasks;
      3. Add a few tasks with random names there (3 tasks are enough) and publish the page;
      4. Copy Tasks;
      5. In the Copy of Tasks, change the text from the three tasks and publish the page;
      6. Go to the Report page.

      Expected Results

      The Task Report macro shows all the distinct tasks from both pages;

      Actual Results

      The Task Report macro duplicate the tasks that got their name changed on the copied page. It also happens in the tasks session, on the user profile.

      Notes:

      • If on step #5 you actually remove the tasks and publish the page without any task, in the report macro/user profile tasks, they are shown with the old name in the copied page.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
