I may be misunderstanding, but are you trying to fill a column in a table with dates that are four weeks apart? If so, repeaters have nothing to do with it (AFAIK). You need `org-table-copy-increment' to be set to 28. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- | date | foo | |------------------+-----| | <2021-07-22 Thu> | | | <2021-08-19 Thu> | | | <2021-09-16 Thu> | | | <2021-10-14 Thu> | | | <2021-11-11 Thu> | | | <2021-12-09 Thu> | | * Code #+begin_src elisp (setq-local org-table-copy-increment 28) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : 28 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then keep pressing `S-RET' to get the next date. > > On Tue, 20 Jul 2021, Jude DaShiell wrote: > >> I am likely doing this wrong but will describe what has been done. >> I put an agenda time stamp into a field in test.org and add +4w to the end >> of the time stamp inside the >. >> I get on the left of the field column on the vertical character and type >> control-space to set mark. >> I move to the end of the field on the > sign and type space and another >> vertical to close the column entry for that field. >> Next I do control-c+x+v and am told strings are copied to the kill ring. >> Next I move down one line and type control-y to yank those strings out of >> the kill buffer and paste them on that line. >> When this is done, I expected the time stamp to increment by 4 weeks. >> What happened was the same information got copied down and it didn't >> increment. >> What am I doing wrong? >> >> >> > > -- Nick "There are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors." -Martin Fowler
