Hi, I’m considering moving from taskwarrior to vikunja. One of taskwarrior’s features that I use a lot is the “wait” property of a task (see also their docs ). That’s a date that you can assign to a task, which basically suspends the task until that date has passed, excluding it from most listings. …

Hey! You can filter tasks with start dates between a range, by default its a 1 week period, but is easily changed with dropdown tasks. [image] Hope this helps!

This probably depends on when you define a task to be “workable”. You could create a filter like @distro proposed to only show tasks due in the current week (or the next seven days, or this month, or …). If that’s all you need and if its the same period for every task I’d use this. Another way coul…

Thanks for your suggestions! I can’t seem to find a strategy that works though. Using just the “due” date and using filters doesn’t suffice, because tasks have varying “wait times”, or equivalently, varying time windows in which they must be done. I.e., some tasks can be started on only a few days …

[image] ariep: when you mark a repeating task as done in Vikunja, the start and due dates are both set to the same date in the future. For this scheme to work, Vikunja would need to preserve the time window between start date and due date – or at least allow you to specify how the start date is …

I tried some more combinations, and found that that possibly buggy behaviour happens only when the repeat mode is set to “From current date”. In that case, both start date and due date are set to “current date + repeat interval”. (Interestingly, the end date is not set to that same date.) I would st…

Hi, thanks. I can’t find an issue or merge request for this yet. Assuming that this isn’t fixed yet, would you like me to try to fix this? Looks like it’s all in setTaskDatesFromCurrentDateRepeat (pkg/models/tasks.go). There is already code in there to check for the case where both start and end da…

It’s not yet fixed, feel free to send a pr.

Done: fix: preserve dates for repeating tasks by ariep · Pull Request #47 · go-vikunja/api · GitHub

Merged :tada: Thanks for your effort.
