Repeat events not showing in google Calendar

mroyle says:
This is my first experience with RTM. I THINK I have a task set up correctly to repeat, but I don't see it on those future days in my google calendar. RTM is connected ok to google calendar...I can see the icon, can click it and see the task list for the day. What is it I might be doing wrong?

I ran into this same problem. I had a task setup to repeat every week for 4 weeks and I scratched my head as to why I could only see it for week 1. The way RTM works is that it won't show up in week 2 until the task is completed in week 1, then week 3 will appear when it is completed during week 2, and so on.

If it's an 'every' repeating task (e.g., 'every week'), it should be showing up on Google Calendar for future weeks, and I think Google Calendar used to show it like this.

We're going to check this out -- I'm not sure why it wouldn't be showing in the future.

Hello, I am also looking to have repeated tasks (every day, every week) show up without having to complete previous ones. Any update?

Thanks!

Hi Jenny,

a re-occurring task will only show as soon as the previous task has been completed. This is the way how it works and there is unfortunately no setting in RTM to change this. It will also not show up in Google Calendar as the iCal-file is only updated once the original task is completed.

Regards,

Arvid

Thanks, Arvid. I had noticed this, but I think it's a limitation. I would love to look at a random day in the future and know everything I have due that day--before making other commitments. Because the repeating tasks don't show up, though, it would look like I don't have anything due.

Emily in a PP said she thought this wasn't the way it was supposed to work and was going to check into it. I really hope this is something RTM changes.

I'm curious if Emily has any followups to her comments here on 7/7.
