Aha! So clicking on the top left recurrence options changes the other Recurrence section below. That was not obvious to me, and this morning I didn't click on stuff. Being able to handle quarterly (or other periods) this way is obviously fine. > > I'm confused by the different recurrence options in the bottom two > > sections.

Maybe that would already be more helpful. Perhaps a bit different visual organization could also make the link between the periods and the specific options for that period more clear, but I don't have a suggestion right now. > > option > > there: 'the date the todo is completed'. > > > > What do you mean with completed? We are using Due Date in the new-todo > Forms. Yes, but Due Date is not what I mean. I mean completed (as in, when I check the checkbox and task is done). Case in point: I want to clean my coffeemaker every two months. So the recurrence is two months. After that period I want the task to show up, but I may not get to it for several weeks. When I'm actually done cleaning it, then I want the next period of 2 months to start. Kind regards, Hans
