Hi everyone. I am getting an issue that happens only every now and then. I have tried to recreate the issue in the a snippet, but I am unable to do it. SO I figured if I provided all my JavaScript somebody might be able to see something. Note I am using an ASP.NET MVC framework, and everything is working fine, other than sometimes getting multiple of the same task getting written to the database, and then shown in the UI after it reloads.
Also note - this code that I have provided is in the same order as it is in my custom JavaScript file. I don’t know if that is causing an issue with the placement of the init values.
If someone could take a glance at this it would be greatly appreciated. Again - I have tried to recreate it in snippets, and I’m not sure what’s causing it. 
//Add task button We use this in our ASP controller to grab the correct id
gantt.attachEvent("onTaskCreated",
function(task) {
task.id = @int.MaxValue;
return true;
});
//This code looks kind of ugly, but the developer before me did not utilize the templates
// So i made a janky function to change the color depending if tasks are ‘feasible’ or not.
[code]
gantt.attachEvent(“onBeforeTaskDisplay”, // before the task is rendered in the chart
function(id) {
//debugger;
var t = gantt.getTask(id);
var e = t.enabled;
//Switch statement changes the code dynamically.
switch (e) {
case ("true"):
t.textColor = "";
$(".gantt_task_content").css('color', 'white');
$( "#feasibleId" ).hide();
break;
case ("true" && (t.workflowcomplete ===false || t.workflowitemcomplete ===false)):
t.textColor = "";
$(".gantt_task_content").css('color', 'white');
$( "#feasibleId" ).hide();
break;
case ("false"):
t.textColor = "red";
$(".gantt_task_content").css('color', 'red');
$( "#feasibleId" ).show();
break;
default:
t.textColor = "black";
break;

//This is after you click the ‘save’ button on a new task.

task.workflowcomplete = false;
//Init some custom fields that I use in my controller on the ASP.NET side.
getRootParentId(task);
task.updatenewtask = true;
});[/code]
//This is the function I use to call my custom update parents and update children code
gantt.attachEvent("onAfterTaskUpdate",
function(id, task) {
if (!task.parent || task.parent <= 0) {

The last three functions are my custom update parent and update children code.
//Update children feasibility
[code] function gantt_updatechildrenfeasibility(id, feasible) {
//debugger;

var children = gantt.getChildren(id);

var child = gantt.getTask(cid);
child.enabled = feasible;
gantt.refreshTask(child.id);
gantt_updatechildrenfeasibility(child.id, feasible);
});
}
}[/code]
// Update parent code
[code]function gantt_updateparents(task, method) {
//debugger;
if (!task.parent || task.parent <= 0) {
var pctdone = Math.round(task.progress * 100);
$(’#taskpctdonediv_’ + task.id)
.css(‘background-color’, ‘hsl(’ + pctdone + ‘, 100%, 45%)’)
.css(‘width’, pctdone + ‘%’)
.html(pctdone + ‘%’); // update percentage in left menu of Index.cshtml
return;
}
var p = gantt.getTask(gantt.getParent(task.id));
var children = gantt.getChildren(p.id);
if (!children || children.length <= 0 || (children.length == 1 && method == 'delete')) { // no children
p.type = gantt.config.types.task; // make item a task
}
else { // has at least one child
p.type = gantt.config.types.project; // make item a project
}
var durationcompleted = 0;
var totalduration = 0;
$.each(gantt.getChildren(p.id),
function(index, t) {
if (!(method == 'delete' && t == task.id)) {
var child = gantt.getTask(t);

totalduration += child.duration;

}
});
p.progress = totalduration > 0 ? durationcompleted / totalduration : 0;
// update site project completion status

gantt_updateprojectcompletionstatus(p, true);

p.workflowcomplete = false;
gantt_updateprojectcompletionstatus(p, false);
}
}
gantt.updateTask(p.id); // update parent task
gantt.render(); // refresh gantt chart
}[/code]
// **** End update parents ****
// this is necessary to show all tasks are completed in the UI
[code]function gantt_updateprojectcompletionstatus(task, complete) {
