Duplicate tasks appear under "My Tasks" view

XMLWordPrintable

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Reordering a page (via Space Tools -> Reorder Pages) that has Task List macros that include dates causes duplicate tasks to appear under "My Tasks" view

      Workarounds can be found in this KB article

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Create a new page in a space that already has some pages in it.
      2. Add a task list macro, mention your own user account, add a date to the task (with '//').
      3. Go to My Tasks, notice the newly-added task is only shown once.
      4. Go into Space Tools > Re-order Pages, move the page with the task macro on it to above or below where it is now.
      5. Go back to My Tasks, and the task on that page is now shown twice.

      The task will be duplicated each time the page is moved.

            We are running into the same problem with the duplicate index creation for Meeting notes and Decision Logs. This is listed as duplicate for the task problem, but this isn't related. Looks like several other users are experience the same based on these to posts.

            Hi Aline,

            have you assigned the affected tasks on a blog post? Then you may be affected by this bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-58020

            To prevent this, we restricted users from renaming blog posts with a custom javascript. We then removed the duplicates in the database using the provided workaround.

            We are still expericing this behaviour in in Version 6.13.6 (Enterprise). Any ideas how we can solve this ? Will a content re-index help ?

            Alice Wang, can you give us the SQL commands to remove them manually ourselves?
