Bug Description

  • Tool: gws (google-workspace-cli) v0.11.1
  • Issue: Google Tasks API does not support creating recurring tasks
  • Expected: Should be able to create recurring tasks like Google Calendar
  • Actual: The recurrence field is ignored by the API, and links field is also ignored

Background

  • Google Calendar API supports RRULE for recurring events
  • Google Tasks API lacks this capability - it's a known API limitation

Reproduction Steps

  1. Try to create a task with recurrence: gws tasks tasks insert --params '{}' --json '{"title":"test","recurrence":["RRULE:FREQ=DAILY"]}'
  2. API returns success but the recurrence is not applied
  3. Task appears as a one-time task only

Expected Behavior

  • Support for recurring tasks similar to Google Calendar's RRULE
  • Or documentation clarification that this is intentionally not supported

Environment

  • macOS
  • gws v0.11.1
  • Google Tasks API
