Create calendar events from tasks and two-way sync for sharing?

[HibGut]

I'm new to SP, looking for a tool that works for me. SP seems so close ...

I work in a team where task lists and calendars are shared. We use Nextcloud. We're free to use our own client software, but the default Nexctcloud Calendar and Tasks apps are basically the source of truth, i.e. we can see each other's calendars and task lists.

I looked over the Sync and Calendars section in the settings and it looks like Sync just puts some files into Nextcloud, but doesn't actually sync with Nextcloud Calendar and Tasks. The Calendars section in Settings only enables a one-way pull of Nextcloud calendar events for a visual overlay in the SP Planner and Schedule modules, but can not modify the Nextcloud calendar in any form.

I guess the sync files are for syncing with other SP clients, so basically SP lives in its own isolated world and cannot cross into Nextcloud or any other CalDav-based ecosystem. Is that correct or did I overlook something?

I love the Planner view and it would be awesome to be able to create calendar events from task by simply dragging them onto the calendar timeline. But I'd need those events to sync back to my calendar, be available on my various devices that are hooked into this calendar and be visible to my team mates who share my calendar. Is that possible?

Is that possible?

Not at the moment, but I agree that it might be a nice addition.

Thanks for your reply. So is it correct that SuperProductivity lives in its own isolated world?

[johannesjo]

I would not put it like this. There are various connections in both directions between issue providers and SP. The level of integration varies between providers. And since the app is open source everyone can contribute features they are missing.

But you're correct in the sense that for CalDAV there are no writes from super productivity (yet).

@johannesjo this isn't totally true anymore right? If you mark a task as done that was imported from CalDAV it gets updated on the server now :)

PS: for future readers I have a PR here with what I think the current CalDAV status is #3871
