Repeat a task daily for m days, keep stopped for n days, then repeat the cycle

mmasroorali says:
Let us consider this scenario. There is a task which you need to repeat daily for m days. Then the task remains stopped (no need to perform) for n days. m is not equal to n. Then the cycle starts again.

What will be the best way to set a task like this?

Hi mmasroorali,
There's not currently a means of doing this automatically (where this cycle could repeat) but what you can do currently is to postpone an instance until the next time it should occur, and then resume completing it as expected.

Hope this helps a bit!

That requires at least three tasks, one to repeat daily for n days, then to remain (manually) postponed for m days, one to remind me to postpone the first task after n days, one to remind me to resume the first task after m days. Not very smart, is it?
