I am using Nextcloud 21.0.1. I have a link on a server where I generate an ics file dynamically. When I visit the address where the ics file is located with firefox, I successfully download the ics file with the following contents (I added newlines to make it more readable):
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

When I manually import this ics file in Nextcloud in the Calendar app using the Import calendar button, the calendar gets imported fine. The two tasks are imported successfully as well and I can see them in the Tasks app in Nextcloud.
However, if I subscribe to the calendar above using the New subscription from link (read-only) option (under the + button in the Calendar app), the calendar does get created but no tasks are created in the tasks app. There is nothing relevant in the logs.
I tried to investigate this a bit more and created manually a normal calendar in Nextcloud (without tasks) and on with tasks. I then exported both and looked at the ics files. They were exactly the same, which makes me think that the distinguishment between calendars with tasks and calendars without tasks is an internal/implementation thing of Nextcloud.
Does anyone know what is going on? Is there an error on my side?

I’m also facing the same issue.
No, this feature is lacking currently in the tasks app:
opened 04:46PM - 21 Nov 21 UTC
I am not sure this is the place to report this (instead of `nextcloud/server` or… `nextcloud/tasks`), but since the option to subscribe to a calendar is in the calendar app, I chose this repo.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new calendar in Nextcloud with task support
2. Copy the private link of the calendar
3. Add an event to the calendar
4. Add a task to the calendar
5. Add the calendar via `+ -> New subscription from link`
I am using a Nextcloud calendar with task support but any endpoint with a calendar with tasks would work the same.
### Expected behaviour
I would expect the tasks in the calendar to also appear in the Tasks app.
### Actual behaviour
The calendar does not show in the tasks app.
