Question about reoccurs tasks.

[Michel]

I am new in MLO, having question about reoccurs tasks.

What I want to do is set the task in the folder "parent task" and reoccurs everyday, finish or not.

The setting I am using is...

Put the tasks into a folder "parent task", set the folder "parent task" reoccurs daily, set the tasks follow parent's rule.

But it will only reset if all the tasks is finished in the folder.

Another way I am thinking is...

Put the tasks into a folder, set all tasks reoccurs daily.

But if I did not finish a task, the next day if I will have to check twice to mark it as finish.

In addition, if I adding new reoccur tasks, I will have to set the reoccurs setting every time, which increase the miss operation.

Wondering is there a way or similar way to achieve it?

***Maybe, but I set each tasks recurrence to daily.  Folders don’t have recurrence.  They’re just folders, containers.

 

But it will only reset if all the tasks is finished in the folder.

***I sense you’re not ready for them yet, but Projects are used this way.  I do use projects.  But not folders.  A project is like a folder, but it helps to think of them as a container, versus a project with a bunch of tasks in it.  Two different things.

***This is what I do: say I have a week to update my Training Diary.  I create a weekly recurring task with a start date of 1/1 and a due date of 1/8.  If I do it, I mark it done, and it shows up as starting 1/8 and due 1/15.  If I don’t do it, it shows up as a red checkbox, meaning it’s overdue.

Thank you for your answer. :D

***Maybe, but I set each tasks recurrence to daily.  Folders don’t have recurrence.  They’re just folders, containers.

I made a typing mistake, I was using "task parent".

Yes, the project and task are still confusing me, I will read the documentation again.

Thank you for your  advice,  I think I can just to mark unfinished tasks as task in every morning, which will also solve my problem.

I disagree.

I disagree. Folders have start dates, due dates, and all flavors of recurrence. The only significant thing that are lacking, as best as I understand it, is the completion box as well as CompletedDateTime, and I believe that folders are by definition inactive.
