Can't enable Gmail "My Tasks" in Thunderbird

I have a Google Calendar, in which I manage My Tasks. I can't see my existing tasks in Thunderbird, and I can't add new tasks to the Google Calendar. New Task in Thunderbird is greyed out and the field next to it has the writing: "Please select a calendar that supports tasks".

I have seen that many had the same issue and understood that it is linked to how My Tasks in Google Calendar itself works. Is there really no workaround whatsoever?

If not, how can I manage tasks and share them with someone else (who uses Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, but does not use Thunderbird)?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

I installed the add-on, then on the Calendar tab clicked New Calendar at the bottom of the left pane, entered the gmail address, entered the password in the OAuth window, added the calendars and tasks. I created a task and confirmed it was listed in the task list on the Google calendar website. So, I don't know why it isn't working for you.

The built-in CalDAV calendars don't support tasks, but there is an add-on that does for Google calendars:

Hi sfhowes,

installed. While I could see the calendar before, I have still no access to Google Calendar tasks. What am I doing wrong?

I had installed the Google calendars already without the plug-in, since it can be done without the add-on. It was not self-evident that the add-on needs to be installed before connecting to the calendars on Google. However, proceeding in the correct order, it yielded the desired result.

Thank you, sfhowes
