Hi, I would like to see the ability to set more advanced recurring intervals. Currently I am using Apple reminders, and while trying out Vikunja I immediately miss being able to finetune the recurrence of tasks. Apple reminders allows you to set the following: Weekly Every x weeks On one of: M…

I guess that’s possible, but it would mean the due date. You’d set the due date to the first monday (or any other day) and Vikunja would make sure it repeats on that nth weekday every month.

I dug a little and found the rfc for CalDAV recurrence intervals . I guess that’s what you mean? I suppose Apple reminders work exactly like that. Also it looks like this has been requested in similar fashion before: Specific weekdays repeat mode Yearly Repeat Mode Repeating interval for the last …

Hi Kolaente, I do not see a reference to “First, Second, Third, Forth, Fifth, Last” in the bit of the linked RFC. And neither for things like first weekday/weekend day. So I think this is not the same.

Isn’t that what the BYDAY does? For example, within a MONTHLY rule, +1MO (or simply 1MO) represents the first Monday within the month, whereas -1MO represents the last Monday of the month. The numeric value in a BYDAY rule part with the FREQ rule part set to YEARLY corresponds to an offset within…

My apologies, You are right. I glanced over the document and failed to see that. This is exactly what I mean then. Are you going to / will you consider to implement this into Vikunja?

It’s definitely considered but not a high priority.

[image] dpschen: although pretty extensive this still doesn’t cover all possible repeat cases. E.g. I can’t define “every 4 years on the Sunday of the third week of March, June and July”. So while this customisation goes deep I wonder how they defined when it was enough. Some things seem impossi…

Or maybe no-one actually uses that? Could you check on Android? Not sure what to do about the impossible stuff? Show a warning to the user? I think the UI shouldn’t allow impossible configurations. Either way, if Vikunja could do what the Apple-UI can do it would already be a huge improveme…

Question: [image] dpschen: So while this customisation goes deep I wonder how they defined when it was enough Answer: “yes” p.s. thanks for the extra visuals
