I don't know if this can be done or not. Maybe I've got the wrong order of operations. I'd like a recurring task to start in the future and have an end date with the task repeated after X days. Think of a task that coincides with a school year and ends before the summer.

I entered the task like this: do TASK on 8/1/14 repeat after 10 days until 4/30/15. RTM put the task due date as 4/30/15 (I want that to be the end date) with no repeating. It interprets the task as "do TASK on 8/1/14 repeat after 10 days" ignoring the August date as a date and ignoring the repeating.

I entered the task in plain english instead of symbols (e.g. ^ or # or *) because I couldn't find an end date symbol.

Any help would be appreciated. I have several of these type of tasks and my work around has been to ignore them for the months they don't apply but it bugs me to do it this way. (Personality flaw, I know.)

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
