After "Every other (day)"
Would like an "AFTER every other (dayofweek)" option.
Scenario: The recycling is only collected every other Tuesday, so I want a task on 6/7 reminding me to "take out recycling". When I complete this task, I want it to take the original due date+14 days to make the next due date 6/21. (So even if I don't complete the task in RTM until Wednesday or Thursday, I still need the new task to still be on that Monday after next.)
Calcluation:
If day_of_week = repeating_day_of_week, add 14.
If day_of_week<>repeating_day_of_week, work backwards to repeating_day_of_week, add 14..
If you don't complete the task until 6/14 or later, then the next one would be on 6/28. That would be an end user problem not an RTM problem.

I may be misunderstanding your request, but if you set the repeat to "every 2 weeks" or "every 14 days" (not "after..."), then regardless of when you complete the task, the next one will be due 2 weeks after the first one is due, not 2 weeks after the first one is completed.
"After 2 weeks" will create a due date 2 weeks after the Completion date.
"Every 2 weeks" will create a due date 2 weeks after the Due date, regardless of when it's completed.
Does that help?
