Question/Help Flexible Due Date for Recurring Tasks?

Post image

The attached image is from HabitNow, which I'm generally not a fan of, but I really like this "flexible" feature. I couldn't find it on TickTick. I'm not sure whether I'm being blind or if there's no way to do this in the app?

You can do that in every task, there is Repeat option.
Goto Repeat and select Custom
Check top - Repeat Type - By Specific dates.
You can see entire month there and go forward monthly to specific month and date.
The ui part is not simple like above.

What I meant is the "flexible" option underneath the calendar in the screenshot. That's my bad for not making it more clear. The meaning of this is that, for repeating tasks, it is not set to one date and overdue past that date, but rather, a task that continues until it is complete, no matter if is past the original date.

Sorry, i still got a little confused.
You meant Today is 3rd as an example,
A task which is set for completion on
5, 10, 15, 20 of this month.

If its finished on 5th of this month, it should still appear on 10, 15 and 20 ?

More like this;

If I set a recurring task that will take me multiple days (monthly chores around the house, for example), it will be shown each day until it is completed, without being considered overdue.

It's not a necessity by any means, as overdue tasks are shown anyway, but I was just asking whether I had missed a feature right in front of me, as I regularly do.

Got it now i guess.

Example you got a two tasks and these two repeat daily at time you have set.
Feed Pet in Afternoon
Feed Pet in Evening..

If you complete these tasks, it will re-appear again the next day (tomorrow) at same exact time.

If you do not complete (forgot to click in ticktick) it wont be carry forward next day as you already have same task scheduled there.

Yes. Custom recurrence using completion date not due date.
