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…

Hello, Thank you for your swift response. I would say that if your set a task to repeat every Tuesday and Wednesday: You would have 1 task in the calendar on Tuesday, with a deadline of Friday And one on Wednesday, also with a deadline on Friday The same for each week in the future. This is jus…

So it would only change the due date if the new date would be in the past after increasing the repating interval? I am not quite sure how that would work in practice but it sounds like it makes things overcomplicated. My current todo app only shows the current occurence of the task, a short exam…

[image] fritzcat: My current todo app only shows the current occurence of the task, a short example: It is currently currently Monday, I have a task next Tuesday It is still Monday, but I finished the task already. So I click on completed and the task gets send to the list of completed tasks. …

I guess that logic stays the same. But back to beginning. Can you make it so that we can configure tasks to occur every first Monday of the month etc.?

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?

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.
