In my business I provide a series of services to my clients on a repeating basis (let’s say a weekly sales report). If my week 1 sales report is due in week 2 but gets issued in week 3 and we check off the task that repeats weekly, the next due date is in week 4 for the week 3 sales report. It skips any past due dates and goes straight to the next upcoming one. This seems like it should be a toggle to turn on or off. In many workflows that week 2 would still need to be done!
Can you share a screenshot of the recurring pattern you chose on the task please?
This is a task for a job we do for every month but usually finish a couple weeks late. The interesting thing is that when I check this task off the date that appears is not even Dec 31 (the next future calendar date) but Jan 31st.
Since this is a list of items we have to complete after every month, ideal for me would be for the next due date to be November 30.
You are perfectly correct, I ran some test and the “weekly” recurring pattern does not behave the same way, and does offer previous missed ocurences, not skipping them like the monthly pattern. @Emily_Roman @Rebecca_McGrath should we move to Bugs or is it intended behavior?
@Jen_Tryggvason to be sure you should create “real recurring tasks” using a tool like mine 
Thank you for checking on this! I’m curious to hear if this is a bug or intended behavior. I’ll be pretty happy if this ends up being a bug and gets ironed out.
Thanks for the option of the tool for “real recurring tasks”. I’ll keep it in mind if that workflow ends up working better for me for a job. Cheers!
