* DONE repeating events become TODO, not OTHER

I have repeating events of type OTHER, as in:
* OTHER Foo
<2015-09-16 +1w>
When I have finished the task for today, I mark it done. Because it is a repeating event, it doesn't actually change to DONE, instead it changes to TODO and adds a :LAST_REPEAT: item in the :PROPERTIES: drawer.
How do I tell this specific item, or all OTHER items in general, that after completion it should remain OTHER rather than changing to TODO?
Thanks,
-k.

Do you *have* to have a TODO state? If not,
#+TODO: OTHER | DONE
should do the trick. Or you could use multiple
sets:
#+TODO: TODO INPROGRESS | DONE
#+TODO: OTHER | COMPLETED
In the latter case, the keywords all have to be different.

Yes it does the trick. I had to switch the buffer out of and back into Org mode for it to work, but now it does.
Thank you,
-k.

The easiest way to get newly added #+ lines to take effect is to C-c C-C on one of
them.

Or after defining OTHER has a todo keyword add a property specifying
which next state you want
* OTHER Foo
:PROPERTIES:
:REPEAT_TO_STATE: OTHER
:END:
