Not a segmented CSV. We need a unified backup that can recreate/repair our data in a single import, or repair borked data. All we have now is what looks like a fork of the template code (or maybe templates started as a fork of the backup.)

The restore should create new records that don't exist and flag duplicate tasks with a checkbox to replace/ignore the record.

I prefer JSON but if CSV is the only option it's OK as long as everything is exported as a mirror of the existing data.

I reported what I thought might be an API bug to TD in July and it was escalated to Engineering as a possible broken index on July 16th. While support was incredibly helpful (thank you u/Melis!), it's been a month of crickets from Engineering. (The bug concerns tasks not included in search results via the UI and API that are fetchable with a task ID.) It has forced me to add one-off exceptions to my Claude processes.

If Todoist doesn't consider a broken index (or borked search code) important, they should at least provide a real backup to protect our data.

Todoist developers (or development managers) must have nothing to do because they continue to cram stuff on my screen I don't want. First it was inspiration on the right side that I have to close. Today I see this crap at the bottom of a project:

Clutter is a distraction. If you want to add stuff like this, make it a setting and default it to off. Less = better focus.

They're thrashing around trying to dream up "improvements" when there's already a list of real features that users have requested; features that would make it a better task manager.

It's too bad; TD was a great app but it's becoming an add-a-useless-feature party.

I want a setting to disable both of these new features.

Some projects have recurring tasks that repeat forever so they never hit 100%. TD can't calculate progress or show insights without start dates, dependencies, etc. It has always been a task manager, not a project manager, so these features are TD trying to be something it isn't.

I'd be happier if new features like descriptions for projects, start dates (for tasks and projects) were on the roadmap.
