How to repeat task since last completed, not since last due?

mcandea says:
Hi, I hope the topic title is self-explanatory, below there's an example:

I have a task that is set to repeat every 3 months on the 1st of the month (Change toothbrush).
Let's say that on the 1st of April I was out of town and didn't get to change it, so I only get to change it on 15th of April. No biggie, I mark the task completed on 15th of April.
Another task is generated for 1st of July, but now I only need to change my toothbrush on 15th of July (in 3 months time).

How to set this task to repeat since its last completed date (15th of April) and not its last due date (1st of April)?

Thank you,
Marius

Hi Marius,

try setting the repeat interval to "after 3 months" instead of "every 3 months". This will create the new task based on the completion date instead of the date when the task was last due.
