Completing a parent task should uncheck child tasks

Would you elaborate on this? Normally, my understanding is that completing a parent task should complete (Check) all child tasks as well.

It's been a bit since checking this and I should have added more details at the time.

The scenario is for a repeating parent task with child tasks

I check off the child tasks

And then if I check off the parent task it unchecks the child tasks and sets the parent task to the next date

The API does not do the same thing. I have tried:
a.) https://developer.todoist.com/rest/v2/#close-a-task
b.) https://developer.todoist.com/sync/v9/#complete-a-recurring-task

And in both cases the child tasks were still checked.

Thanks - this sounds in line with the known bugs with subtasks that I talked to Todoist devs about with their API. Let me reach out and confirm what I find out

[alanvardy]

This is super helpful, appreciate you doing the legwork.

This is a known bug with Todoist and their devs confirmed. They have it logged for review but have not prioritized it for fix yet. I will leave this open for periodic review and followup with them.

This is still an issue - I will followup with Todoist as this one seems a bit different from the other one.
