"after" repeating tasks given an "until" end date?

blackjack000 says:
Is it possible to get a repeating feature where I may set a task to repeat so much time after it is completed, but until a set end date?

For example, say I create a task to study for an upcoming test. I would like this task to repeat two days after I complete it, and the task to have a final repeat date which is on the day of the test. However, if I were to miss one of my test study days and was not able to check off my task, I could accomplish the task the next day and it would repeat two days after that completion day--but still not ultimately repeat past the actual test day.

To rephrase again, I am able to enter "repeat every 2 days until 10 feb 2010" but I am unable to enter "repeat after 2 days until 10 feb 2010"

This feature would work great for me, considering I am unable to accomplish repeating tasks on their scheduled day, then I have to check off multiple instances of the same task when I finally get to it.

Thanks

It's not currently possible to enter repeat intervals like that. It'd probably be easier to keep the "after…" repeat, and then to delete it when it's done.
