[Feature Request] Repeating tasks

[stoopidJSON]

Repeating tasks, like calendar items, would be a really useful feature. Right now I'm putting repeating tasks in the calendar (stuff like taking out the trash weekly) but really that'd be better as a repeating task in this app.

I'm not very familiar with the Nextcloud platform, but it looks pretty straight forward. I will fork this repo and try my hand at adding this feature myself. Between my unfamiliarity with the platform, and other projects, I may not ever get it done though. I'm posting the idea here in hopes that someone else who is more knowledgable about this project take up this cause.

I second that, recurring tasks would be really useful because I could then replace my GTD tool and bring everything into NextCloud tasks,

I've looked at doing this myself a little bit, and I think I have an idea on how this could function in-line with current Tasks functionality.

Currently a Task can span many days or months. The task has a progress bar. This is not similar to other task programs like Todoist or others where a task is simply due on a date, or recurring.

To create a repeating option for Nextcloud Tasks I suggest it act as a reminder for a task in progress. So you set your task start date/end date, then under a repeating or reminders tab (just like a calendar item) you set how you will be reminded (pop-up, email, etc) and then the interval (every 1 day, 1 month, etc--this is where it is different than Calendar and is a combination of the reminder and recurring tabs).

I'm not sure how this would work with third party items like DAVdroid/Tasks on Android (for example), but I think this type of recurring reminder would be complementary to the way Tasks is currently implemented in Nextcloud.

This would be very helpful.
Maybe a quick method would be to put a database table in place for repeating task info, then install a cron job to read that table and create the new entries in the app database table?
