Description Akhil Laddha 2011-08-08 06:06:15 UTC 
Evolution 3.1.5

New -> Task

Evolution shows time field besides both start date and due date. The problem is Outlook (Exchange server) and Novell Groupwise client (Groupwise server) don't support time. Even if we enter time in Evolution, those are not stored on server and if you modify any task, timings will change randomly.

IMHO, it will be better to remove time field to keep consistency with other clients and make task editor UI same.
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2011-08-08 10:19:11 UTC 
I would prefer some kind of capability flag on the backend, to indicate whether it supports task times, and if this capability will not be set, then show only date portion of the entry.
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2011-08-08 10:59:40 UTC 
Ah, never mind, I changed my mind and as we chatted about this on IRC, making tasks date-only makes more sense. One argument would be that moving between tasks list where one supports time and the other not, results in information loss anyway.

for evolution;

This makes it, together with dropped unused code due this change in task-page.
