The first Context applied to a Task object can never be removed
under review
Q
Qaid Jacobs
When creating a new Task item, whether from an existing object's context or from scratch, once a context is applied and removed, the context is still attached to the Task item as can be seen in the Task list view with the Context tab active. In the details view of the Task object the original context applied with NOT be visible, but the Task object will still appear in the Task list view with that original context.
This does not seem to be the cases for subsequent contexts applied after the first has been added/removed. Subsequent contexts can be removed and they do not show in the Task object's properties, nor are they listed in the removed context's grouping in the Task list view.

I was just reporting the same thing:
If you create a task it automatically gets the context of the object you created it in, e.g. PageA. Deleting that context still shows it within the PageA group in the 'group by context' view. Adding other contexts and removing the first keeps showing it in the first as well.
There may be a delay contributing as I think I've seen the groups update but it's not seconds, it's easy for the tasks to become inaccurate and stay inaccurately grouped.
Another test case: add a task from the 'global task input' (Ctrl+Shift+T) and give it a context. The task isn't grouped in the context grouping view even though it has a context

Hi Qaid Jacobs how long was there between removing the first context and navigating to a different view? It might take a few seconds to update.

Beth I definitely waited multiple minutes. Left, and come back hour+ later and the original context was still applied.
Performing the test again now.. waiting 10 minutes.. and yes, even though I removed the first context object applied and added a different one, after 10 minutes, when I look at the Task list grouped by context, the task appears under BOTH the first one applied and the one that replaced the first. When looking at the task details, only the replacement context is shown in the UI.

Qaid Jacobs: Hi Qaid, I know what the problem is. It is indeed an issue. It gets recomputed when you close and open the app again, and wait for a few seconds and then come back to the context view. We'll think about a solution.
