Changing the details on some but not all completed repeating tasks

megsaint says:
I have a set of repeating tasks set up for my workouts. Sometimes, I miss a workout. I don't want to check off those tasks and simply mark them complete but nor do I want them sitting on my list of things to do. I would like to be able to change the title of just the skipped instances from say, "Workout" to "Workout, skipped". However, it seems as if, even if I mark the task complete, they're still tied to the repeating series. I can't move just those instances to a seperate list, can't change the title of just those, can't put separate notes (as I could if they were "Repeat after ...." tasks.

The only option I'm really seeing is to entered a daily instance of the task, without the repeats. Does anyone see any other options?

Thanks!

You're correct that when using an "every" repeat, all instances of the series are connected, even after they're completed. Since all the occurrences of the task are part of the same series, they share a name (and other properties, such as tags), so it's not possible to rename a single occurrence.

As you mentioned, it is possible to modify a single occurrence of the series when using "after" repeats, as each occurrence is a distinct task with its own properties.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
