Re: [O] Repeated tasks, but only for a limited period (of time)
Hi Rick, Rick Hanson cryptor...@gmail.com writes: Based your advices, I used org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift for my application today -- worked like a charm. Thanks to the both of you! Yes, that's what the manual advised too. But I find your request to be useful in another circumstance: when there is a repeated scheduled item and a deadline. In that case, the meaning should be repeat until the deadline. You can now achieve this by setting (setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown 'repeated-after-deadline) which translates to: Skip the agenda scheduled item when it repeats after the deadline. This feature is available from master. Thanks for coming up with this idea and for the clear use-case! -- Bastien

[O] Repeated tasks, but only for a limited period (of time)
Hi everyone, I've already RTFMed for this, but I still don't see how to do the following. Fact: I can add a repeater to a time stamp (like +1d) in org-mode so that a task shows up in my agenda as an every day item. Question: Can I restrict this repetition to, say, 1 week? For instance, I have a task I have to perform every day this week, /but only for this week/. So if I were to pull up my agenda for this week, I should see the task posted every day of this week, but if I then hit the f key to go forward a week, I should *not* see that task in this (the following) week. This is a not deal-breaker if not possible. I can just get rid if the task at the end of the week (but it's state, of course, that I have to keep in my mind, instead of committing it to the magic of org-mode). Thanks a lot of any help! (My apologies if it's in the manual and I missed it.) Best, --Rick

But, for things like that, I make one headline task and then apply M-x org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift to get the desired number of distinct tasks. Perhaps that will suit your needs.

Re: [O] Repeated tasks, but only for a limited period (of time)
Instead of using a repeater you can clone the task. Just create the task the way you like it (with a schedule and a deadline) for the first day and then call 'M-x org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'. Org-mode will ask you the number of clones it should create and the time shift. Just specify the time shift as '1d' and you are done. -- Darlan At Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:06:30 -0400, Rick Hanson wrote: [1 text/plain; ISO-8859-1 (7bit)] Hi everyone, I've already RTFMed for this, but I still don't see how to do the following.
