How to create a repeating task which must be done N times

[ildar]

I have some tasks which are to be done N times (for example, 20 times).

There is a similar thread here:

Is it possible to create simple repeating tasks (without defer or due)?

Sometimes I need to create repeating tasks without Defer or Due or any specific time, which means the task would just work as a counter. For example I'd like to read an article for 20 times anytime available, so this task shouldn't be assigned any specific date and it is considered completed only when it is checked as done for 20 times. It seems currently we can only make it defer again and due again, the "repeat every" option would also give the task a due and defer. If I'm not missing a…

But there people do not need a specific due dates.

In my case, I need a possibility to schedule a task, for instance, for every Friday, and this task must be done 10 times.

May be a possibility to create tasks with number of repetitions and with/without dates should be provided.

I’d love to be corrected on this if wrong, but I don’t think you can currently do what you are requesting, since OF does not allow you to set an end date for repeating tasks (an odd omission).

I do not need to set the “End date”.
I need to set a number of repetitions and frequency.

Right, I understood that. My point is that I think the two features (setting an end date and setting a number of reps) seem like they’d be interrelated (think of the iCal app), so that not doing one implies not being able to do the other.

As a feature request, I’m right there with you.
