I have a Task that is set to recur monthly. I want to change the day of the month that the Task appears. I know I can change the Start date but that may not be the correct thing to do - in the past I've had unexpected results from such a change.
What is the proper way to change the day of the month that the Task shows up? |

I believe when you create a task that is due on August 15th and set it to monthly recurrence, it will be due on the 15th of every month. Likewise, if your start date is August 10th, the new start date will be the 10th of subsequent months. If you need it to recur on the 18th of the month, change the due date to August 18 with monthly recurrence, and if you need it to appear in the list on the 12th instead of 10th, just update start date accordingly and it should be respected going forward. What I do not know is if you have a start or due date of January 31st with monthly recurrence, what does it look like in February or April. There is an option for 'end of month' recurrence, so maybe you just have to think far enough ahead to use that any time due date is going to be a day that doesn't exist in all 12 months, but hopefully the logic is robust enough that if you set 31st with monthly recurrence and due date falls in February, it will just assign the last date of the month. |
