I previously made this post: Monthly recurring tasks don't skip previous dates if the date is pushed forward.. I now have an instance where I moved the date forward, marked the task complete and it skipped to the next month, not the skipped month. 
So, what is the expected behavior here? Should the next iteration of a monthly recurring task have a due date in the month following the original due date or a due date in the month following the new date?
I believe recurrence will re-start based on current due date of the completed task. Seems coherent with what you experienced isn’t it?

@Bastien_Siebman, thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately, I have experienced two different things, and the last time I raised this issue (see the link in my original post), I was told that was the correct behavior. In both instances, I have changed a task due date to a date which is past the next instance of the recurring date. In one case, after completing a task, the next task had a due date in the past. In that case, the due date would have been the due date for the month following the original task’s due date. In another case, after completing a task, the next task had a due date next month. In other words, in that case, the next task skipped the due date for the month following the original task.
See the example in the link to my original post.
Here’s the most recent example.
-
The date is set to 5/1/2022 and is set to recur on the 1st of each month.
-
I decide to skip the 5/1 instance by simply changing the date to 6/1/2022.
-
On 6/1 I mark the task complete. Asana generates a new iteration of the task with the date of 7/1 but my expectation is that the date should be 6/1 because that is what I was told is the expected behavior (see the link to my original post).
Does that help?
I think I understand now and have seen this in the past, depending on the recurring pattern it skips (or not) past due dates. I’ll let Asana answer officially.
No answer from Asana?
