Changing recurrence base on the date task is done not scheduled

[Archie-2021]

A lot of times I have tasks which are based on intervals not the date and that got problematic when they done after schedule. For example lets say I should clean the house every week starting from 2023-01-13, but I am busy and do it on 2023-01-18. Now If I click on the task it is going to create the next task for 2023-01-20 but the room just got cleaned and should be set to be done again after 7 days. I usually have to change to due day manually to the day I done the task so that it generate the next task correctly, but it is so much friction and also misrepresents how the task was scheduled in the first place (using completion date helps but still keeping the original due date is nice too. Is there a way to use task to create recurring new tasks in this way? If not consider this a feature request. Like if I hold shift when clicking on a task it counts the current date as the base date for creating the new task instead of due date already in task.

Hi @Archie-2021,

For future reference, please do not start new feature requests in Discussions.

The reason this section is now called 'Ideas: Any New Feature Requests go in Issues please" is because we want new feature requests to go in Issues.

On the subject of your request, please have a look at this section of the docs:
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

This describes the when done phrase, which I am pretty confident is what you need.

sorry, for using an inappropriate place for asking this, but I was suspecting it is already there and I just can't find it.

Thanks

Yes, that's the reason why we have switched to using Issues instead of Discussions.
Discussions do not have a way to say 'it's OK, it's a duplicate, close it'.
Issues have a perfect way of handling it.

It is OK, thanks for keeping it in mind for future feature requests or bug reports.
