Repeat

When I create a repetition on a new task with "every" the task is saved with "after". How is that possible?

Hi edwin.wenink,
Sorry to hear that! Both words are used in repeats and behave a little differently, so you may want to review that you're choosing the one you want.

But if you're intentionally choosing "every" in a task and it's changing to "after" that may be something else. I wonder if you may be using the app in a language other than English? Sometimes there can be either translation or parsing issues there, and we can look into that. Of course, we can look into any other causes too. 😅

Regardless, if this continues and my quick idea doesn't help, can you contact us so we can get some more specifics and help diagnose this issue?

Thanks! 💙

Hi, I choose "every" in a task and it's changing to "after". I use the android app in Netherlands.

Hi edwin.wenink,
Yes, that sounds like a bug! I'll add that to our list to investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience there.

It may help in the meantime to type in the repeat in English, or to change the entire app to English, but we understand that's not convenient!

Let me know if I can help with anything else in the meantime or if you notice anything else. 💙

I have also searched further because it does not occur consistently. If I create a new task on repeat every day, week or month then it works. If I create the new task on repeat every year then it does not work well.
