[TW-126] A task active during the last 3 business days of each month?

Interesting problem:

There is a piece of paper that I have to pick up on a monthly basis, which I can do only "during the last 3 business days" of that month.

I'd like to use taskwarrior to display a monthly recurring reminder, where sched: and due: should automatically be set to the last 3 business days of the current month.

I guess the necessary ingredients are there (calendar support for holidays, work week, etc.), but that taskwarrior could currently not support such a scenario - is this correct?

Best, flo.H

I don't know if libkronisk (the incoming date/duration parser http://tasktools.org/projects/libkronisk.html) handles the concept of "business days", but I do know it's set to really spice-up the syntax, maybe with good thing like sched:eom-3days.

That in combination with 2.4 parser-fixes might make the scenario you describe easy-peasy, but your business-days are likely to be different from mine, so I'm not sure how that would work.

Until then, there may be some ways to achieve the same thing.

For faster vague answers, off-topic banter and quicker access to the folks who make this sort of thing happen, you can always visit the IRC channel;

This is a large feature. Thank you for writing this up. Requirements:

1. Recurring tasks need to inherit the "scheduled" date and "wait" date
2. The "scheduled" and "wait" dates need to be on the recurrence schedule, not just the "due" date
