How do I get deadlines to repeat?

It seems that when a task has both a scheduled date and a deadline date, only the scheduled date is repeated and applied to the clone task. The deadline totally disappears.

Is this intentional or a bug? Will it be fixed?

Hi,

The deadline should be repeated. But the repeat ones' deadline is according to the start time. e.g. you set the task cost 3 days, then the repeat ones should also cost 3 days.

Could you make a screenshot of your repeat task settings and send it to me by private comments?

Shall you need any help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me back.
Thank you for your support!

Best regards,

When I continue experimenting with this, what should I expect to see:

For example, if I set up at task scheduled for Feb 28 and due Mar 1 (a 2-day window) with a 1-month repetition cycle, should I then expect to see:

a) Mar 28 to Apr 1 (same scheduled day and due day, but different number of days between)
b) Mar 28 to Mar 29 (same number of days, same scheduled day, but different deadline)
c) Mar 31 to Apr 1 (same number of days, same deadline day, but different scheduling day)

I am not sure if have a preference here, but it is good to know what to expect; then I can set up my margins accordingly.

Hi,

After checking,we find that you created the repeat task without deadline at first. Then you changed the repeat task and set deadline to it. But the clone task today has been produced according to your first task setting,and when you change it, the task today will not be changed. But the tasks later like next month,it will be produced with deadline.

You can check it on web version in Scheduled calendar mode, find 11/26,and open the clone task.

Oh, I see. I was entering a lot that day, and I always seem to forget to enter some of the things :-(

Sorry for troubling you, and thanks for your help and patience :-)
