Smart add with repeated tasks

darhull says:
Ok, so I'm working with a group of people on Bible memory, and I'd like to send them a weekly assignment. Each set of verses has to be reviewed on a certain schedule so they're not forgotten. I'm having trouble getting them to go in to RTM properly.

Here are the awkward ones:

004 Review Psalm 117 ^25/05/15 *Daily for 100 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^01/09/15 *Weekly for 12 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^23/11/15 *Every 2 weeks for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^14/02/16 *Monthly for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^13/08/16 *Yearly !1

The first one (110 x) just posts as "review daily" though "for 100 times" shows up in the name - will that stop it from repeating after 100 times are up?

The second one shows up like the first. Not sure if it's going to stop repeating

The third one works perfectly

The 4th one works like the first and second one.

The 5th one's fine.

Any ideas?

Hi Darlene,
You may want to change the repeat words to fit how they would be interpreted. (For example "daily" works by being converted to "every 1 day", but the number of times throws that off.) Here are your examples for what I mean:

004 Review Psalm 117 ^25/05/15 *every 1 day for 100 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^01/09/15 *every 1 week for 12 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^23/11/15 *every 2 weeks for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^14/02/16 *every 1 month for 6 times !1
004 Review Psalm 117 ^13/08/16 *every 1 year !1

In the meantime, I've added this to our list to investigate as well—sorry for the inconvenience there!
