Hello group,

I have multiple workout bags I take with me throughout the week, I like to manage the content but need to go into these bags and through a checklist. I am looking to build a list that is executed from my phone and repopulates immediately that does not have a start or due date.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hello,

It is not possible to set up a recurrence without start/due dates. However, there may be a workaround that would work for you. Can you provide an example of how your recurrence should work.

Hi, Alyona.
My apologies, I sent a proposed workaround to Delmar on 1 December, and
he replied "Thank U thank U thank U thank U thank U!" so I presume that
it was acceptable. The reason for the apology is that I sent it to him
alone, and not to the group. Sending the workaround to the group, now:
Use a start date of long ago, like 1/1/1999, and a due date far
into the future, like 1/1/2100. Then set up the recurrence:
select hourly, and in the blank where you are supposed to show
how many hours, type in "1M" which means one minute. Pay no
attention to the start and due dates, as the tasks reoccur you
might get some odd dates there but start will always be in the
past and due will always be in the future. This will work ALMOST
exactly the way that you want, the only difference is that if
you finish one of these checklists there will be a period of one
minute where it does not appear on your phone, and then it will
be back.
