Task repetitions
idirik says:
Hello,
I have two important problems with the repeat feature:
1. When I setup a task with "repeat every monday", the task is displayed under "ANYTIME" in the Gmail gadget. But AFAIC that's not right - the task should be displayed under "next week" with the date "monday".
I HAVE to set the due day to monday if I don't want that the task is displayed under "Anytime".
Why is the tasked displayed under "Anytime" although I've defined a repetition?
2. 1. When I setup a task with "repeat every monday", the task is also not displayed in the Google Calendar widget. Thats really bad!
If I set the due date to monday and add "repeat every monday", the Google Calendar Widget shows the task on the due date - but not on the following repetition days!
So if I check which tasks I will need to get done on monday in 2 weeks, the related task is NOT displayed (although I defined that the task should repeat every monday)!

When I add my tasks as iCalendar to my Google Calendar the repetitions are displayed in the calendar. But as described above, they are not displayed within the Google Calendar widget when I click on the blue icon in my calendar.

Hi idirik,
1. Setting the repeat doesn't affect the due date; it sounds like you'd want to set the due date to "next Monday" additionally.
2. That doesn't sound like it's working correctly; would it be possible to submit an iCalendar Feeds issue report via our support system and supply the URL for this iCalendar?
Thanks!

rajjan,
That's true for the site, but iCalendar should show all instances of a series.

As written, iCalendar shows all instances of a series, but not the Google Calendar widget!

I'm sorry I misunderstood; rajjan is right (of course he is; I should have known!) that RTM only shows the current instance of a repeating task until the due date of that instance is reached.
