Multiple scheduled dates

[ruben-sg]

I have some tasks that got a specific due date that is some time in the future. These tasks don't have to be worked on every day, but I would like to plan on when I'm working on them. I can do that in a task, but only with one scheduled date, not with multiple scheduled dates. I would like to be able to do that.

Specific example:
I have to write an article "How to improve your task management". It has to be written by the end of July, so I set that due date. However, the task only requires two days of work. I would like to work on it on July 22 and July 25. I cannot add both scheduled dates to the tasks.

Benefit:
Apart from the view of a single task, I could group by scheduled date and see the amount of work I have planned for the coming weeks.

Hi, I am focussing in things that are widely requested, not specific to an individual’s workflow, and don’t complicate existing features, and don’t already have a reasonably obvious workaround.

In this case, workarounds would be one of:

• Create two tasks, each scheduled on the day you plan to work on it.
• Adjust your search to find tasks still open and past their schedules date.

So this is not likely to be done, and I will close it as Not Planned on a few days.

Feature requests are always welcome. For future reference, please put feature requests in Issues, not Discussions. Thank you.

Thank you for getting back to me this quickly! I understand your concerns. I would imagine that this feature would benefit quite a few users, as you could make yourself weekly pans with scheduled dates instead of multiple tasks (the other workaround doesn't work as I would like to have a task scheduled on non-consecutive days). But as you are doing all the work for free, I am totally fine with your priorities :). Thanks anyway!

Thanks for being understanding.
