First Shared, recurring with no due date "Bonus Point Chores"

[Ehill05]

It would be useful to have the option to have a type of First Shared chore that could be set to recur after certain intervals but doesn't have a due date. Right now, if you set up a "bigger" chore that either kid can complete it looks like it shows up in the Today section when the due date matches. "Bonus" chores that stay in the pending section and once completed only reappear in that section after the reset interval would be very handy.

Example:

Clean Fridge Doors, monthly
First kid to do it gets the points, doesn't show up for another month (the front of the fridge doesn't get that fast), but stays in pending until someone claims it again. It doesn't need a due date, but it also doesn't need to clog up the Due Today section.

If I’m understanding you correctly, one option could be removing the due date and recurrence set to none. Then make a small automation on, for instance, the 14th of every month setting the due date to the 15th. That will make the chore due showing in the correct sections. Upon completion and reset, the system will remove the due date automatically because there is no recurrence. The chore stays pending until next month when the due date is again set on the 14th.

Let me know if that’s on the right track or not.

Another alternative might be to to set it as a monthly chore and set the “Due Time” to something like 3 days, then set the chore to be locked until those 3 days before it is due. This would put the chore in waiting state most of the time which you could exclude from the dashboard views.
