Summary
Task Report Macro is showing tasks from previous versions of the page.
Environment
Confluence 7.4.3
Diagnosis
Attempting to delete duplicate entries by following the Duplicate tasks appearing in My Tasks or Task Reports KB does not fix the issue, as the tasks are not duplicates.
A similar scenario can also be caused by CONFSERVER-34751 - Importing an XML Export does not create inline tasks and comments correctly. The resolution steps of that bug can also be applied here.
Cause
In rare situations, the "AO_BAF3AA_AOINLINE_TASK" DB table can get corrupt or out of sync with current tasks.
Third-party apps can cause this; applying the resolution steps from this KB will not resolve the cause of corruption, but will clear the corruption itself.
Solution
Always back up your data before making any database modifications. If possible, test any alter, insert, update, or delete SQL commands on a staging server first.
Perform a full backup of the Confluence Database.
Shutdown Confluence.
Execute the following SQL Query:
delete from "AO_BAF3AA_AOINLINE_TASK";Start Confluence.
Confluence will re-populate "AO_BAF3AA_AOINLINE_TASK" DB table based on current tasks, skipping tasks in previous page versions
