Hi community,

I would like to create a task with a repeating interval of every day.  
This by itself is no problem but I would also like to see when I did the task the last time.

For example:

- Create task1 on Monday with repeating interval every day
- don’t do task1 on Tuesday
- on Wednesday the task shows “due 1 day ago”
- do task1 on Wednesday
- task1 now shows "due in X hours " or “due in 1 day”

I tried setting the task by using:

- repeating interval “Every Day”, repeat mode “Default” each 1 Days
  - I also tried it with Repeat mode: “from Current Date”

- Due Date set to date tomorrow

This works initially but when I come back ~30 minutes later, the repeating interval disappeared

What would be the correct way to set a task up like this?

Can you explain that a bit? That sounds like a bug

It’s a bit weird but when I wrote the issue, I couldn’t get it to work no matter what.  
Now, I was able to create a repeating task as I wanted it, without a problem…

Maybe this can be closed.
