Task that recurs based on when the task ended?

sillydragon says:
IMHO, it'd be really handy if we could have recurring tasks that recurred based on the date they were completed. So, you might have a task set for every three months..something like "Get a haircut". If you complete the task two months late, it'll be due again in a month. With this suggestion, we could have it be next due 3 months from whenever it was finished. :)

I agree, this would be useful for many life tasks, such as washing the car, mowing the lawn...but it is also helpful to have the absolute recurrence for tasks that must happen at a certain time e.g. renew season ticket

Try setting the repeating option to "after 3 months" :)

This will generate a new task based on the date that the task is completed (unlike "every 3 months", which will generate a new task every 3 months whether you complete the first one or not).

More details on repeating formats are available here.

Hope this helps!
