Need Help Creating this Smartlist

drummergirl says:
I am trying to setup a smartlist of tasks that I can print out and hang on the fridge for my kids each week. I setup several tasks like "Kirstie-Practice Guitar" and "Kirstie-Finish Homework" which repeat either on a daily or weekly basis. I then created a smartlist for her using this criteria:

status:incomplete and dueBefore:"next Monday" and name:"kirstie-"

This works except for the repeating tasks. For example, the "Kirstie-Practice Guitar" task only shows up for today (Thursday) and Friday. It is set to repeat daily, so it should also show for Saturday and Sunday. "Kirstie-Finish Homework" shows up for today, but not Friday even though it is set to repeat on weekdays. Single non-repeating tasks are showing up on their due dates. Is there a way to get all repeat tasks to show for all days?

I would love to print out a week's worth of tasks that is broken down by day for each of my kids. Thanks.

Drummergirl...

You are not alone with this issue. The standard way to handle this is to create 5 tasks (weekdays only) or 7 tasks (every day) which you set to repeat weekly, and then have them set so that they look like the same task every day, even though it's really 5 tasks each once/week.

Hope that helps.
