Outliner with drag/drop reordering - part 2
-
@cvp I tried killing the Shortcuts app and also rebooting the Watch. Neither helped.
-
@ihf last version os on iPhone and watch?
-
@cvp iPhone is 15.4.1 and WatchOS is 8.5.1
-
@ihf same for me. Strange and weird
-
@ihf did you also install the new outline.py and update an outline to check if updated is stored in 2042 event? And then ask outlines on Watch
-
@cvp definitely running the right Shortcut and script and yes everything is now in 2042.
-
-
@cvp Sorry , was something not clear?
-
@ihf I don't understand that you would have rerun the shortcut? Which shortcut' not this one to be run only once.
Ok, I stop for today. If you have some news, don't hesitate to post it.
-
@cvp No, I meant the Shortcut that reads the calendar notes in 2042 (not the one that moved them there (I deleted that).
-
@ihf thus only stays the problem on Apple Watch
-
@cvp correct, problem is only on the watch
-
@ihf the only difference I see between your and my configuration is that you said you have duplicated the shortcut. Are sure you use the good one on the watch? And did you configure it as "on Apple Watch"?
And I only have 3 outlines?
And don't you have 2 iPhones ?
Perhaps reboot the iPhone ?
Sorry, but I try anything, even not smart at all.For info, standard Apple calendar app on iOS can only search events maximum 1 year in the past and 1 year in the future. That's why I use Readdle Calendar5 app which allows a search of 10 years in the past.
-
@cvp I’ve tried both the original and the duplicate shortcut and yes thenare bot on watch and both work fine on the phone ipad. Ther’s something about finding the calendar entries on the watch that is not working but why it works for you is a mystery.
-
@ihf just for the fun, could you modify the first action of the shortcut to only "get 3 events". I agree this is not very a smart idea but perhaps iOS bugs do not follow smart rules 😀
iOS is worse than you think. Indeed, to easily test the move of events from 2022 to 2042, I first tested by moving to June 2022 to be able to easily check. Of course, later I reset everything to January 2022 to test the "one run" to 2042 shortcut. Since then when I search for the outlines events in the outlines calendar, the iOS calendar shows me the events in June 2022 despite that they are no longer there but they are in 2042. It is impossible to understand such a bug
-
@cvp tried with 3 events, no change.
-
@cvp boiled it down to the first few actions: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/ea369edfee254b138caf8dfc06394abc
That works on iPad and gives no output on Watch. -
@ihf Ok, thus we have a problem...
I think I'll modify all to store the outlines in contacts in place of calendar events.
I could create a group "Outline" for contacts and add/update contacts of this group, with first name = outline title, group = outline and notes = outline content.Of course, I have to
- create a "only once run" shortcut to copy outline from calendar 2042 events to contacts
- create a shortcut to select an outline and display its content (modify actual outlines shortcut)
- modify outline.py to add/update a contact with this info
You should manually perhaps delete the 2042 event when all is ok
Your opinion please or any other idea to improve that.
I'm going away in vacation next weekend, thus I would try to do this job still this week.
I'm afraid I could have already tried this solution in the past and met problems and forgotten...
-
@cvp Before you do that, I am going to try unpairing and re-pairing the Watch. It will take a little while.
-
@cvp unpaired and re-paired watch. No change. I can't think of anything else to try, so moving to contacts seems a good idea. It has the subsidiary benefit of not ceasing to work after 20 years :-)
