I may be misunderstanding, but are you trying to fill a column in a table
with dates that are four weeks apart? If so, repeaters have nothing to do
with it (AFAIK). You need `org-table-copy-increment' to be set to 28.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
| date | foo |
|------------------+-----|
| <2021-07-22 Thu> | |
| <2021-08-19 Thu> | |
| <2021-09-16 Thu> | |
| <2021-10-14 Thu> | |
| <2021-11-11 Thu> | |
| <2021-12-09 Thu> | |
* Code
#+begin_src elisp
(setq-local org-table-copy-increment 28)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: 28
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then keep pressing `S-RET' to get the next date.
