Modifying a recurring future projection will erase a previous one #91

Open mthxx opened 8 years ago

If you modify a recurring project well into the future, and other instances of that project exist in the future, but before the modified event, it will erase those earlier projections.

This is because modifying a projection does not create a new projection. Instead, it overwrites the existing project and sets the start date the the date of that projection, thus dropping any previous projections.

A few idea's to fix this. Create new projection entry that is separate from the previous entry. Change the previous projection end date to end at the last projection that has not been changed, and start the new projection with all the information of the old one but with a new start date, and any other data that was changed.

This report is specific to the bug of deleting earlier projections. However, the feature of part of this ticket to do single projection modifications is actually tracked in issue #74.
