Evernote reminders and repeating task

oletros says:
I have set up the integration between Evernote and RTM and the Evernote reminders appear perfectly.

The problem is that when I set a reminder as repeating, the reminder date doesn't refresh on Evernote when the task is done and the reminder appears as done.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Hi oletros,
Currently repeats don't sync to Evernote, so completed tasks will sync the completed reminder, but future instances in Remember The Milk will still allow you to link back to that note.

It sounds like you'd prefer it to sync the new instance of the Remember The Milk task as the Evernote note's future reminder?

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, I had thought that the new reminder date and state would sync to Evernote

I would expect that the new due date in RTM would set the Evernote reminder date so the two would be in sync.

Thank you both for your feedback on these repeating tasks!

I'll make sure the development team sees this so they can take a look at the behavior.

Ik would also expect the Evernote date to change to the first future occurrence of the rtm task.

Automatically generated task should update the reminder date on Evernote.

Otherwise, they're no longer in sync!

Further, while the new instance of the task retains the link to the Evernote note, the actual items don't otherwise seem to be associated, so things like changes don't sync between RTM and Evernote (e.g. changing the title). Further, if you re-add the reminder in Evernote, you end up with a duplicate task, since this process creates a new task.

I thought the all point of sync'ing the reminders between RTM and Evernote was that RTM would update the due date of the Evernote note to the nearest next occurrence.

Maybe it would also be nice if RTM appends to the end of the note some message like "Occurrence marked as complete on . Next occurrence set to by RTM.".
Seems to me like a nice-to-have feature for tracking etc.

err, it stripped placeholders that looked like HTML...
The message I offered: "Occurrence [prev-reminder-time] marked as complete on [date-time]. Next occurrence set to [next-reminder-time] by RTM."

I also would like to see this feature implemented. (I.e., deadline update propagating from RTM into Evernote.
