Calendar bugs get filed in the Calendar product. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Calendar

I did a quick test with Tasks with Lightning 6.7.2 in TB 60.7 on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Linux and couldn't reproduce.

I only have 3 on my computer and it didn't matter which one was selected. The correct calendar appeared in the New Task creation dialog and I could select another from the drop down list.

Selecting version 6.2.5.1 in Tracking because 6.2.7 isn't there yet.

Do you checked it with a local or network calendar?
My calendars are all network calendars (one of my company, the rest private (caldav).

My calendars are all network calendars (one of my company, the rest private (caldav).

I'm pretty sure they were local calendars.

My Google Calendar has a separate Tasks list I can subscribe to. I just subscribed to that network calendar and created a task. It showed up in the proper Google Tasks lists calendar and I have it as a selection in the Task creation dialog.

Okay, I tried creating a task with my regular Gmail network calendar selected in the Calendar List and it was not selected in the Task creation dialog box. Only my 3 local calendars and the network Google Tasks lists.

Switching to my Thunderbird 69.0a1 which has a Google CalDAV calendar also doesn't allow me to select that calendar for creating tasks, only events.

I would say CalDAV calendars don't know what a task is and the user can only create events.

I can't create an Event in the network Google Tasks list calendar. It isn't an option in the Event creation dialog.

I'm not sure this is a bug.

Geoff any thoughts?

Only some calendars support tasks. The new task dialog will choose one that does. I don't see a problem here.

Ok, it is not a bug. I understand now. Therefore I have added a local calendar to use this one for tasks. But how can I change the order of the pre-selected calendar for a task?

Let´s assume that main calendar does not support tasks and I have 3 more calendars which support task. The 3rd one should be be my standard one, but TB suggests always the 2nd one when main calendar is selected before creating a new task?

This could be something as a feature request than instead of reporting a bug.

And how do I have to mark this report as solved as it is no bug?
