Is it possible have a recurring task every “X” months as we have for hours / days / weeks? For example, for a task that would need to be done every 3 months like “1st January”, “1st April”, “1st July”, “1st October” …
Currently there’s no way to do that. There are plans to rebuild how repeating intervals work in general, which would enable what you’re describing.

I’ve installed Vikunja recently to use it as a replacement for Remember The Milk and this particular topic is important to me as I, for example, track my bookkeeping with it which needs to happen every quarter.
I wanted to ask: Is this something that’s actively worked on right now? Would it be something worthwhile for me to look into (My Go-Fu is limited, but at least existing, but I haven’t yet looked into the situation in terms of date math)
If you’re willing to tinker, I developed a workaround to achieve this functionality using Vikunja’s n8n community node to implement Vixie Cron patterns. For example, 0 12 1 1/3 * (minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week) would trigger at noon on the first of the month every 3 months. You can test other patterns at cron checker. It’s super flexible.
To implement, see Repeating tasks by day of week. If you try to implement and run into issues, please reply in that thread and I’ll do my best to help!
