See if this does what you want. Put the recurrence on the parent, ie,
Photos for <client>
received client album choices
generate photos
Set recurrence for "Photos for <client>" as follows:
- Starts at photo shoot date, due one week later, recurs one week after
this task is completed. *Advanced*: Automatically recur when ANY subtask is
completed, DISABLE automatic reset.
- If you want " received client album choices" to be an active task until
the client gets back to you, you can use "complete subtasks in order" on
the parent. (or combine with option below)
- If you don't, try this. Uncheck "complete subtasks in order". Put a
dependency from "generate" to "received". Then on "received", click "Hide
in Todo". It won't show up in your normal task lists until you get the
clients feedback.
- Alternatively, you can set the start/due date for the parent to be when
you want to remind the client, ex. 3 weeks out (combine with option 1
above). So you would have:
Photos for <client>
received client choices
remind client to make album choices
generate photos
Since you are using "recur 1 week later..." the brilliant thing is that you
can set the date for reminding the client out a few weeks, and still, once
you complete "received client choices", "generate" will be one week out.
The only catch is that lead time is inherited from the parent. I think you
can play with the dates of the subtasks though and it will track.
A fun challenge :) Much more interesting than the work I'm supposed to be
doing.
