repeat 'after' events on calendar recurring before task completion

vamshikk says:
Hi,

I am trying to find interesting/productive ways to organize my tasks. I found that repeat after behaves the same as repeat every in calendar events. is that a bug? It would really be nice if it behaves the save was as it does on rtm lists.

For example I have a few tasks I do every day (like organizing, inbox to zero etc).
In my lists, I use repeat after 1 day so that
1. the next task is either only generated after today's task is complete or
2. if its the next day (this seems to be the standard behavior even if the task is not marked complete; I am not complaining as I like this behavior).

But recently I started using my iphone and outlook calendars to view my events/tasks. I see that even 'repeat after' tasks behave the same as 'repeat every' tasks. That clutter up the calendar. I don't mind seeing the repeating tasks for today or due before but it would be really helpful if I don't see the tasks in the future (the whole reason for having 'repeat after').

Can any one help me out here? Is this a bug?

Glad to hear it's on the to-do list. This is something that's annoyed me a little too.

Say... what's a task like that tagged? ;)
