automatically sync new calendars and task-lists from the web to the device

• /e/ version: 2.0
• Device model(s): any
• kind of both: improvement, but bordering on bug

Summary

From nextclouds / murena.io web perspective:

When a user creates new calendar or task-list, or renames existing calendars or task-lists, the changes aren't reflected on / synced to the device automatically, right now it needs user action into multiple-level options.

(For context: task-lists are technically caldav calendars)

There is a higher-order ux issue to this, as new calendars or task-lists cannot be created / renamed to the full extent as in the other direction (device->web).

Description

What is the current behavior?

1. user creates new calendar / task-list on the web
2. even after a long waiting time, the changes will not show up

What is the improved behavior?

1. user creates new calendar / task-list on the web
2. change is pushed within a defined time interval on the device, time interval is announced to the user

What does it bring?

fixing the behavior fulfills user expectations on how state is synchronized between cloud and device.

Workarounds

either:

• disable calendar / task sync and re-enable in Account Sync options

or

• Settings → Accounts → murena Account → My Account → Additional settings for account → (chose large account tile) → (chose “CALENDAR” tab) → either upper right three-dot Menu → Refresh calendar list OR second from bottom with folder-update-icon

Mock-ups

no mockup as it should work in the background, with only a notification on the web that the change will be propagated in time interval "x".
