due tomorrow list, repeating tasks

susani says:
Hi,
I'm new. Repeating tasks: why do daily tasks not appear in lists for tomorrow? I've ttried after 1 day, every 1 day, but nothing changes in German.
Thanks for help, susani

There are two kinds of repeats: Every and After
With Every, once the task becomes overdue, a new instance is created, tomorrow if that is according to the repeat interval.
With After, only one instance is active at a time, and the only way to create a new instance is to complete the task.
If you really need to see these tasks in advance, one way is to create several weekly tasks with the same wording, then you see at least a week of tasks in advance.

Thankyou for answering. Yes, I understood that so far. But the buttons due tomorrow, overdue don't work, maybe only in German, not in the overview, either in "all tasks". These buttons find only the tasks that are set exactly for this date or day of the week. Why can't I see the "every 1 day" tasks in "due tomorrow"?
What I tried, is, I created a smart list for "daily tasks" by tagging "daily". Now I need to combine them with the tasks of "tomorrow", which I couldn't manage so far. Only with one particular day I succeeded.
I hope my English is understandable...:-) susani

Okay, I think, this is not possible.
At least I found my "daily" tasks now in the plan of the week.....repeatedly

Hi susani,
In rajjan's response, he mentioned when the new instance of the repeating task is created. You won't be able to see the repeating task in the "Tomorrow" list, for example, until the repeating task creates an instance due tomorrow. When the series generates a new instance due tomorrow, you'll be able to see this task in the "Tomorrow" list.

Hope that helps!

Finally:
I created al smart list:
tag:täglich OR dueBefore:today OR due:today

(the tag is the German word for daily)

One advantage is, that you get the total time you need for all these tasks for this list. (If you have entered time for each task).
Now I'm content.
This list shows me daily repeated plus overdue, plus special tasks of the day.

Hi susani,
Glad to hear you found a Smart List that will work for you! Thanks for sharing that tip, also.

Hi brendan,

My new smart lists:

(tagged "daily"+ tomorrow new)
tag:täglich OR due:tomorrow

(tagged "daily"+ tomorrow new + overdue)
tag:täglich OR dueBefore:today OR due:tomorrow

I like this total time estimation. It's helpful, at least in my first week with RTM :-).
