[Feature]: Support for recurring tasks / reminder with time but no date

Open pcause opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Goal or desired outcome of this feature

I want to be able to have the reminder work with recurring task so that when the new task is created by tasks, the reminder is updated with the new date.

Describe the feature

When a task that is recurring is marked as complete and is recurring a new task is created and it has a new due date that matches what the recurrence specifies BUT the reminder has the original date/time. Not very useful. I'd propose one of two solutions:

  • update the date of the reminder to the same date as the due date of the newly created task when a task is created by a task completion.
  • allow a reminder to have just a time and no date. take this to mean that the reminder should fire at the specified time as the task due date, or if no due date then "today".

I'd like to add I would also like the ability to set how a task recurs. (Day, Bi-Daily, Week, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, etc.)

the tasks plugin handles that so just handling task completed and updating the reminder when a task completes would do the trick. maybe clare who is doing the tasks plugin can give you an idea of how to get notified when a task completes

Understood. Perhaps I shouldn't suggest features that overlap with other popular plugins. If that's the case I apologize.

Unfortunately, I personally don't like how the Tasks Plugin uses Emoji as a required component for its syntax. Hopefully at some point they add in a toggle for text-only syntax; I like typing out everything as I go, without opening dialog boxes or search for emojis (I also realize there's an emoji markdown syntax plugin ala ":emoji_here:").

Thank you for the suggestion, of course.
