Amending recurring tasks

[Richard Emes]

Hi,

I currently have a Task that recurs every Monday but occasionally I need it to move to a Tuesday for just one week. Is there a way of doing this without changing the whole recurring pattern, as I want the next occurrence to revert back to Monday? 

I guess what I'm trying to do is postpone a weekly task by one day but only for this week. 

I can amend the recurrence and then revert back to every Monday but it seems a bit of a kludge!

Does anyone know of an easy way to postpone a one-off occurrence of a recurring task? ( I don't want to skip the occurrence completely just move one occurrence back a day)

Thanks,

Richard

No direct way. However, if the task has an alarm, it can be snoozed. One work-around. If you have to change the due date because of something else, then maybe the recurring task needs a dependency to be set up for whatever is keeping you from completing it on Monday?

Another thought - If you can do your recurring task on a Monday, but don't have to complete it until a Tuesday, maybe you could set your Start date to the Monday and your Due date to the Tuesday, every week?

Hi Stephane,

Thank you for the really quick reply! The task is to send out a meeting agenda with the meeting usually being on a Tuesday but it may be Wednesday occasionally. Your second option works perfectly thank you; the task will appear on Monday's list but remain until Tuesday if not checked off.

Thank you

Richard
