I have an issue where I'm updating members via a sceduled task at midnight every day and this gets overriden if the member also updated at the same time through usage of their account.
I am looping through all members and setting a boolean on whether they've logged in that day to false (so next time they log, they get a daily login bonus).
If the member is currently logged on and doing an action that requires updating their member, this will override what I do with the scheduled task.
To my understanding, In Umbraco 8, it only updates fields that have been changed, so why would this be occurring?
Why not take a different approach and when someone logs in set their "last logged in date", then you can compare the date when they next login to see if the date is the same, if it is apply bonus, if not don't.
That would save the need for a scheduled task to set a flag.

Hey Dave,

Sometimes the simplest of things escape us. Not a bad idea at all, thank you.
