Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

PS: This problem never happened, but now it happens everytime and does NOT get fixed by restoring task from backlog anymore

Thanks for reporting. Does this happen with the most recent version 8.0.7 as well?

[AZeed18]

Yes, the data still gets corrupted

Actually the problem gets fixed when I get those newly archived tasks out of worklog although previously archived tasks of same type are still there

[AZeed18]

Can you reproduce this?

[johannesjo]

Can you reproduce this?

Yes! Thank you! I'll work on a fix!

[johannesjo]

Will be fixed with the next release (hopefully :))!

[AZeed18]

Thanks for trying! The problem still exists in 8.0.9 :(

[AZeed18]

It is worth noting that the problem got fixed when I ignored the corruption, made an export, imported it, then click ok here:

Are you able to reproduce the issue again or is everything fine after applying the data repair?

[AZeed18]

So far, the issue is fixed and everything is fine!

I don't know why I needed to corrupt and repair though, maybe because I use another app to sync the sync file with another device

[johannesjo]

Then I am closing this! Please let me know, if there are additional problems!

[AZeed18]

The problem is not fixed, but I think I figured out what needs to be fixed...

Deleting tasks with tagged subtasks gives the same error and states that the deleted task ID (assumption) is missing from its tag, which gets fixed by repairing

Probably that's another issue since you fixed the same problem with archiving

[johannesjo]

@AZeed18 can you provide me with the exact steps required for reproducing this? I tried several variations but was unable to cause another error.

[AZeed18]

Just delete a task which has a tagged subtask or more:

It is worth mentioning that going to the corrupted tag shows this fatal error:

Thank you very much once more! Hopefully was able to fix this! :) The fix will be included in the next release.

You're welcome! I will let you know if there are any issues.
