Set the next recurring task from the date finished

[panosfilianos]

Hey,

I'm wondering if there is any way to configure Obsidian Tasks to set the next recurring task based on the date finished.
So, let's say it's Nov. 7 2022 and I have set up the following recurring task:

• #task Read 🔁 every 2 days 📅 2022-11-01

Now, let's say I've just completed this task.
Based on the above the new task would be:

• #task Read 🔁 every 2 days 📅 2022-11-03

However, what I would like to do is:

• #task Read 🔁 every 2 days 📅 2022-11-09

Is that possible?

Yes it is. In the documentation, look for the page on recurring tasks (in getting started) then look for docs on ‘when done’.

If you could paste the link here to help others, that would be appreciated. I’m on mobile.

Brilliant!
Used it and validated that it works.
The documentation is here: https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/getting-started/recurring-tasks/#repeating-a-task-based-on-the-original-due-date-or-the-completion-date

Thank you so much Clare for the super fast response!
