Task Lists in Modern Experience

Hi,    If I change a Task list to Modern list experience and click on an item, then instead of opening the item, a download is initiated of an empty file named after the ID of the item (for example...

Mmm...that's odd because If there is a modern task list in SP 2019, then it should be first in SPO something that to me knowledge is not true

Would you be kind enough to further investigate this and confirm that it should work with SP Online...

 

Thanks

    Ok, I have talked to Mike Lee and I have missed one part here: you can configure your Task list to use the modern view instead so you will effectively get a modern Task List that is not fully modern...some of the views (such as the Gantt View) are not modernized yet

      Juan, for the time being, when you configure your task list to use the modern view instead, then the mentioned issue occurs, where it downloads a file instead of opening the item in view/edit mode, so I’m interested in knowing, when/if this issue will be fixed?

        As far as I understand it task lists works until you add some extra kolumns to say show say something like "withinBudget YEs/No" or whatever. As soon as you do that it totally breaks down. I am unsure what is the best way to bring this to microsofts attention. I am also looking to topics to upvote in Uservoice. Uservoice seems to influence stuff like Planner, but the Sharepoint team seem to work differently. https://sharepoint.uservoice.com/forums/329214-sites-and-collaboration?query=calendar

         

        As it is now there is a quite a few silly little things that needs to be fixed in Sharepoint. Something that I have always been missing are some basic configurations for the calendar view. Things like if you want to show events occuring on a certain date that gets totally cluttered in week view cause it is divided up in hours. It would be very nice to be able to disable hours ans just show all items on that day. Stuff like. Would like to know the status of this.

         

        Something that would be handy in this current in between situation is in apps, lists and webparts could have a label if they are Legacy or Modern to know if they are likely to work or not before you select them on your sharepoint site.
