Notes with reminders are edited automatically on startup

Support
1

What I did:
I created several notes. Some of them have reminders either in the text or in checklist items.

What happened:
Upon startup of the application the list of recently edited notes is updated and changed even if no note has been edited. The result is a seemingly random order of notes having the notes with reminders at the top. The order changes every time I start the application. (I didn’t change any reminder in the meantime.)

The order changes again when I click on the loupe at the top right.

I exported the notes I didn’t edit in the Agenda format and took a look in Data.json. In fact the field »editedDate« contains a timestamp of the startup – so I suspect some automation touches the notes but doesn’t change the contents of it.

What I expected:
The list of recently edited notes displays the list of notes that I have edited recently.

Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc):
Agenda version 19.0 (302) on Mac Sonoma 14.5. The behaviour can be seen in the iOS app as well.

Thanks for reporting, we’ll take a look if we can find the cause

Steps to reproduce the behaviour on my system:

  • Create two notes with random content and add a reminder to both notes.
  • Edit other notes after that.
  • Restart the application and examine the list of recently edited notes.

It would be nice to know if you can reproduce this behaviour or if there is a problem with my installation.

Thanks for looking into this!

Yes, I can confirm this. Old notes with reminders destroy the order of recently changed notes.

It’s been a year, and I no longer pay any attention to the list of recently edited notes. The reminders in some notes still destroy my list and render it useless.
Please give the list the planned functionality!
