I +1 this request...
(Did notice this was from 2010 - but as yet the feature is not implemented.)
I also do not use due dates unless a task HAS to be done by a certain date.
Another example of where you'd want recurrence with no due dates:
- Break a big task into smaller sessions (3x 30min sessions)
- For example - [Clear shelf unit] ---> [Subtask: Sort old books
(15m)] - 3x recurring
I do this a lot as I find it effective when not much time is available and
need to cover a lot of ground; but I don't like to set a due date on the
recurrent items...
