Specify that a task repeat on a particular date every year?

chris.waters says:
Is it possible to specify that a task repeat on a certain date every year? Granted, if I make the due date today (5 Mar 2011) and specify that it repeat "every year", that will effectively work. But does "every year", in this case, always mean "every year on 5 Mar"? What happens on leap years--will it repeat on 6 Mar?

Regardless, since I'm in the habit of specifying for many of my tasks that they should repeat on a certain day every month (e.g., "every month on the 5th"), it would seem most intuitive and consistent to be able to specify that for annual tasks, too (i.e., "every year on March 5th").

Can this feature be added to RTM?

(Sorry for the typo. "Today" obviously isn't yet 5 Mar 2011!)

chris.waters,
A repeat of "every year" will repeat on the same day each year, even leap years.

Regarding the different repeat format, I've added that to our list to investigate.

Hope this helps!
