Event time on iOS calendar wrong

Something's wrong here...
I created an event on Toodledo with the following parameters: 1. Due Time of 3pm on a date 2. No Start Time 3. Alert of 1 hour before I imported this to my iCloud calendar via iCal in the usual Toodledo way, but it shows up as a 1 hour event starting at 2pm. Why? What rules should I follow for creating events in Toodledo that *MIGHT* be imported into my Calendar? |

If you don't set a start-time or a duration, Toodledo has to guess. Otherwise it will show up as an all-day event. Toodledo always guesses that it is a 1 hour event. So for your event, it set it as 2pm-3pm. If you prefer it to be 3pm-4pm then you will need to set the start-time instead of the due-time.

Could Due-By, Due-On, and Due-After affect this? Shouldn't it? A task that is Due-By would show as 2pm-3pm, but a task that is Due-After would show as 3pm-4pm. Vary according to duration. Due-On would be treated as a (say) 10-min event at the Due time.
Alternatively, perhaps a Toodledo task that doesn't include a start-time or a duration should *not* be considered an event and, therefore, should not be included on the iCal calendar. In other words, make the definition of event a little more explicit. In general, your definitions of these terms should be more explicit so that the exports to other forms (like iCal) make sense. |

BTW, this would suggest that you need Alert before Start-Time for events. True?

Maybe. Alerts are currently sent based on the due-date.

Is this all documented somewhere? In other words, the difference between event and task in Toodledo as well as how they are treated when exporting to an iCal calendar?
