Hi @Gaz21 , @Bill_Brown, Talking about “going back to complete an incomplete challenge,” I have noted a change in behaviour in the last week that I find is an issue for me. If I leave ANY challenge incomplete, the system will not allow me to “complete” any subsequent challenge.
For example, on Tuesday this week, I did not have time to have a go at the Lick, so I did not “complete” it. On Wednesday, I gave the Improvisation my usual 15-20 minutes and wanted to “complete” it but the system did not provide the “Complete” button, saying instead, “Please go back and complete the previous challenge.” On Thursday and today, I have the same issue.
In short, because I did not want to mark Tuesday as complete, I cannot mark Wednesday, Thursday or Friday as complete either.
All I want to do is leave Tuesday incomplete until the weekend (or even next weekend), when I will have time to go back to it. I want to mark Wednesday, Thursday and Friday complete because I feel I have done enough on them and will then be able to see at a glance where I need to direct my attention.
This is how I have always been able to operate TAC but, as of this week, it appears, I can’t do it any more. Without it I don’t think I understand the purpose of marking a challenge “complete”.
I posted this issue in the forum but no-one replying seemed to understand why I see it as an issue.
Then I noticed your posting here and wonder if you think this new behaviour in TAC is OK, or whether, like me, you think it is a backward step?☹
I would love to raise this with Tony and team but have no idea how to do this. Any advice?

In today’s case, I spent the 15 minutes I normally schedule on today’s challenge and then wanted to mark it complete. However, the system will not let me do this. The system is insisting that I go back to yesterday and complete that first. Since I didn’t manage to spend any time on yesterday’s I do not want to mark it complete – but that now means I can’t mark today’s complete either.
I’ll keep you posted but I suspect that, once I have spent my 15 minutes on tomorrow’s challenge, I will not be allowed to mark that one complete either because Tuesday’s will still not be marked complete.
I simply don’t want to mark Tuesday’s as complete until I have actually worked on it, which I would usually do when there are no challenges at the weekend.
This appears to be a new restriction. I was able to leave challenges incomplete last week without affecting subsequent challenges.
On another point raised…
I have not tried using favourites in the new system. In the old system, marking an item as a favourite just inserted it in alphabetical order into my list of favourites. This meant that any concept of “going back to Tuesday’s” was lost. I had to remember the name of the challenge. Now, although I absolutely love Tony’s fanciful naming conventions, the resulting names do not lend themselves to systematic filing!
Also, I thought the idea of favourites was to keep challenges that are my favourites, rather than just challenges I didn’t get round to tackling during the month.
Once again, thanks for all the replies. We’ll get there!
