Repeat until done...?

Hi,

I may not be using the software optimally. So this is more a question than a suggestion.

I have come to use TD mostly through the calendar view. However, I find myself spending a lot of time dragging tasks from today to tomorrow when I could not complete them. I have come to think that a feature "repeat until completed" with the standard repeat periods would avoid this chore.
So, say: Buy balls at the tennis club is something I can do only on Saturdays.
I would set:Task: Buy Balls -- Location: tennis club -- Repeat->Until done --- Frequency Weekly. TD would then carry on repeating the taks (effectively updating the due date) until I have effectively completed it. When completed, TD would cease to repeat the task.

What's your thought ?

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion. We cannot comment on a time frame for implementation, but we'll consider this for a future update. I suggest you try a similar feature using a due date modifier. You can find more information under the "Optionally on" section here:

Thank you!

Hi Sabina,

"Optionally On" does the job perfectly. I actually would like
to use it as my default way of inputing the tasks. I need
to set the following parameters:
- Repeat to "Dayly
- Due Date to Today
- Modifier to ptionally on
Is there a way to have default inputs for tasks ?

Best

I found a satisfyng solution as suggested on your FAQ:
- create a Template folder with most common types of Task
- clone these as needed modifying only parameters

I'm glad this was useful! You can set new task defaults in your account settings, but there currently isn't an option for default due date modifiers.
