Re: [mylyn-integrators] How to fetch new data for existing tasks on connector update?
|
We have also run into this requirement (e.g. when additional
attributes need to be stored on ITask) and as you have noticed this is
currently not supported by the tasks framework. I have created this
bug to discuss enhancements to the API to support that case better:
290604: [api] support updating of task details without causing an
incoming notification
