Question Zimbra Assistant

Okay, so I'm slowly becoming addicted to the Zimbra Assistant but I did have one issue that I hope is just an oversight...

When I create a task through the ZA, does anyone know if there's a way to assign a due date? If I type the following:

task "Change out power supply" tomorrow

It will create a new task with a Start Date of tomorrow, but with a Due Date of today. Then if I go back in to edit the task and save, it coughs up an error since the Start Date is *after* the Due Date. I know I can manually change the Due Date but it doesn't seem like I should have to.

Thanks for any help,

Ken

That's pretty clearly a bug; I'd go file it.

Well a bit more oddness to report before I file it as a bug....If I wait long enough, say 5 or 10 minutes, the Due Date on the task automagically disappears. Can anyone else test this on their system to make sure I'm not losing my mind here?

Thanks for the reply Jay.

Okay I get the feeling not a lot of people here use the Zimbra Assistant, but just in case I've noticed another odd quirk...

If I try to create a Task or Appointment and use the word "today" instead of an actual date, it inserts yesterdays date. So if I create an appointment for "today" (today being the 15th of October) it will create the appointment on my calendar for the 14th of October.

This definitely smells like a bug but I thought I'd ask here if anyone else see similar behavior.

Cheers!

Ken
