How to show recurring tasks on all the days that have those tasks?

[vu-truong-dev]

For example, I have a recurring task repeat every week on Mondays.
Does anyone know how to show the task on every Monday of the month on a calendar?

Is there any calendar plugin can do this?

Not that I know of.
This is the only calendar view I know, and (last time I looked) it displayed the individual tasks directly from the notes:
https://obsidian-tasks-group.github.io/obsidian-tasks/how-to/show-tasks-in-calendar/

Currently there is no easy way in the Tasks code to calculate future recurrence dates.

Ah, but you know about that project already:
https://github.com/702573N/Obsidian-Tasks-Calendar/issues/59

Quite sad to hear that this is not possible at the moment.
I think it's necessary because currently I can't see all the tasks I need to do in the next week for example.

You could pay for a service like https://clickup.com which provides this.

Or, here are a couple of workarounds you could try that would work with Tasks and that calendar view:

• Manually create a year's worth of copies of your task, so they all appear in the calendar.
• Manually toggle complete the task 52 times - then
  • un-complete the task 52 times
  • and remove the recurrence rule from all but the last task.

Now all the tasks have their own lines and will show up in the calendar.

Then you just have to remember to do the same in a year's time.

Or 12 times, if it's a monthly view, of course.

Ok, thanks for your answer

[vu-truong-dev]

Is there any possibility of adding this feature in the near future?

[claremacrae]

No. And there is no need to keep asking.

For a start, Tasks does not even have a calendar display, and adding that would be a huge amount of work.
