Hello,

I believe that what I want to do will not work, but I thought I would
ask. I have a habit that I want to do on certain days of the week
only. I had the date in the org file set as the following:

#+begin_src org
<%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(2 3 0))>
#+end_src 

While it shows up on the calendar on the correct dates, it will not
cycle like a habit should. It will actually move to a "DONE"
state. Changing the date format back to an org date type format seems to
solve the problem.

Is there a work-around? 

Thanks, Aric

I have a habit that I only do on weekdays, and the workaround that I
ended up using was to have separate copies of the task for each day of
the week that I want to do it.

Thanks, I read the link. Sounds like they are just not meant to work that 
way.
