Hello,

I want to set up a monthly task, "Give the dog his medicine", which only happens from June to November. The cycle repeats every year. What's the most efficient way of defining this in MLO?

Thanks!

For me, i will create 6 tasks, repeat yearly with the appropriate reminder:

June: Give the dog his medicine 
July: Give the dog his medicine
August: Give the dog his medicine
September: 
Give the dog his medicine
October: Give the dog his medicine
November: Give the dog his medicine

I have recurring folders with the following tree structure: 
=RECURRING=
  Weekly
  Monthly
  Yearly

I will place the 6 tasks under the 'Yearly' folder.

Or a single task, repeating monthly, with a mention (either in the description or the notes) that it’s only actionable Jul-Nov

Thus, when the task pops up in Dec-Jun, you know you can check it off each time without disturbing the dog

All good workarounds; thanks to you and Mok Matsuru. I was hoping there would be a solution that leverages MLO's advanced repeat/recurrence/automatic resetting functionality, involving a single task and probably a parent task. MLO is so powerful, one would think such a solution exists.

There probably is. I guess Dwight is your man for that, when he’s got a moment. Me, I’m fully engaged doing other stuff

Sorry, the two solutions I know have both been discussed.

This is a good suggestion for feature. Why not have 12 month check boxes as we now have for days of the week?
