I have a repeat task. Normally, for me, a repeat task will be for a "job of work" to do at repeated intervals. It however is not the same job of work. e.g Every monday at 9am a status meeting. Or in my example ever tuesday a pub quiz. I want to be able to annotate each meeting separately so I see the weeks specifics in the agenda. e.g 1st April ** Pub Quiz <2008-03-25 21:30 +1w> This subject 8th April ** Pub Quiz <2008-03-25 21:30 +1w> Another subject It could just be being too lazy but I would like the repeat task so that an agenda for 6 months time has the Pub Quiz entry, but it probably wont have a specific "subject" in this example. I did try to add another active date to the original but that didnt work e.g <2008-04-08 Tue> subject1 <2008-04-12 Tue> subject2 I hope that is a little clearer, rgds, r.
