HOWTO set up a task to repeat at the last day of every month

marcelpaulo says:
Hello

I have a bill due at the very last day of every month (Jan 31st, Feb 28th, Mar 31st, Apr 30th, …). How do I set the repeat interval to achieve that ?

Regards,

Paulo

I was just about to post the same question.

I can create a task with a 'due' of 'End of Month' but if I set it to 'repeat' every 1 month, it seems to skip months with less than 31 days!

Looks like quite a major bug unless I am missing something

Unfortunately, you can't currently set a task to repeat on the last day of every month. I've added this to our list to investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, this thread includes some workarounds for the problem. You may want to see if one of these solutions will work for you.

Hope that helps.

kevin,
Tasks that repeat daily will correctly repeat every day. These solutions are for tasks that repeat monthly on the last day of the month.

Can you tell me a little more about what you're trying to do and what's not working?

Thanks!

The two most common workarounds are one task that repeats every 28th and twelve tasks each repeating annually on the last day of each month. There is no better way to handle this presently.

This suggestion has been coming up repeatedly for years, so I suggest you embrace a workaround rather than wait for a programmatic solution.
