This has come up before, and maybe it is obvious to everyone
else. Suppose I want multiple tasks which recur a certain interval
after another. For example, we clean our guinea pig's cage every 3
weeks or so, but we have to (1) buy the bedding pellets (woodstove
pellets last 3 times longer than shavings :), (2) air them out some
so it doesn't smell so strongly like pine (the downside of wood
pellets) and (3) actually clean the cage.
First assume I will always buy the pellets on a Monday, air them out
on Tuesday, and clean the cage on Saturday. (Every 3 weeks).
Create a parent, set with:
- complete tasks in order,
- recur interval for your pattern, for example recur every 3 weeks
on Saturday, starting next Saturday
- advanced: reset all tasks to uncompleted
- advanced: recur when all subtasks complete
Ok, now create 3 children.
Child 1 (buy bedding) - due the Monday before next Saturday
Child 2 (air out bedding) - due the Tuesday before Saturday
Child 3 (clean cage) -due next Saturday
Right now, since "complete in order" is set, only Child 1 is active.
Complete Child 1, and Child 2 becomes active; complete 2 and 3
becomes active. Complete 3, and all will be reset 3 weeks later but
with the same intervals that they have originally. Because they
already have dates, they don't inherit the parent's dates when the
parent recurs.
Hope that is helpful :)
