Starring a repeated item shouldn't star all copies in the future

I use "star" to indicate "in progress" or "do this now". For items that repeat, however, this is problematic because as soon as I star a task, all its repeats in the future are now starred, and I have to go and manually un-star them.
Is this a design decision? Can this be fixed? -Mike |

I use Starring in pretty much the same way as you.
I get around that by setting the start date and due dates of a task in question to be the same, then hiding future tasks. You can also get alot of mileage out of setting the task to repeat on completion instead of due date. Taken together, they keep me from seeing a bunch of the same tasks in the star view. |

We currently do not have any special behavior to unstar a task on completion, although we know that this would be handy for some people. It is on our to-do list.

I think the big issue here is that repeating tasks are not discrete. Starring one stars "all of them" is one example, but also I should be able to delete a task that I'm not going to do this week, and have all the future repeats unaffected. Right now, this deletes everything.
In this current system, how am I supposed to deal with the situation where I don't or won't get to something this week? All I can do is mark it "done", which isn't technically true, and it ends up showing on my weekly searches for everything I've completed when I write status reports. I have to remember that I didn't do it. Any plans for turning repeats into discrete tasks? -Mike |

You could give it a priority of -1.

Or a Status of "Cancelled".
