Entering "ev..." in the Repeats box translates to "after..."

(closed account) says:
In the task "repeats" field:

if I type "ev2day" it automatically translates to "after 2 days"
if I type "af2day" it automatically translates to "after 2 days"

if I type "ev2wk" it automatically translates to "after 2 weeks"
if I type "af2wk" it automatically translates to "after 2 weeks"

etc.

In fact, typing "ev2day", "eve2day", or "ever2day" all translate to "after 2 days".

I would think "ev" would be shorthand for "every" not "after". As far as I can tell, the shortest way to say "every" is to type it out fully. Can that be changed?

Hi geojono,
Thanks for your feedback that you'd like a shorthand way to set your repeats. Currently these aren't available but I've passed your feedback on to the development team for review.

Let us know if we can ever help with anything else!

Well, as I mentioned, "af" is shorthand for "after", but "ev" is shorthand for "after" also. I was assuming it was just an oversight in the coding that "ev" ended up being shorthand for "after" instead of "every".

But thanks for passing it on!
