Make a recurring task automatically 'skip occurance' after x days?

[Eamonn]

IF I'm using this to do soemthing habitually I may occasionally not do it, is there a way to make it so if  a task isn't completed on the day of it's removed and counted as 'not done'?

Thanks

Right click. Skip occurence.

Thanks, I know I can do that. I wanted to do it automatically once time has expired.

What do you want to achieve?

I set to that kind of task occurence to repeat X days after completition. So If i passed some instance task stays in overdue, but after competition next occurrence is counted from competition date.

I understand your use case, mine is slightly different. If I miss an occurrence by a day on a recurring task it's not overdue, it's failed. The task I'm creating can only be performed on that day, once that day is over the opportunity is gone. So I don't want the task accumulating in overdue, just disappear and maybe increment a counter 'failed'.

Thanks for your input

I could use this functionality as well. 

As an example of my use case, I need to remember to claim the "Free Friday" coupon from my local grocery store. It's only available on Friday, so if I miss the deadline, I can't claim that week's coupon, period. However, I still want the task to reoccur the *next* Friday. I'd like the "missed" task to just expire, rather than to appear as overdue when I can't do anything about it anymore. Ideally, I don't want to have to go through and manually "skip" each task, because I actually have quite a few regular tasks that work this way.

Is there a way to accomplish this already? If not, maybe this could be considered a feature request? :-)

TIA!
