Orgmode repeater intervals with end date

Orgmode repeater intervals with end date

[Tory S. Anderson]

Hi all,

When repeater intervals are set on on org dates (eg =<2018-01-10 
Wed 16:00 +2w>=) the output is exported nicely to ical and appears 
nicely in agenda. Is there anyway to put an end-date on org dates 
so that the +2w will not just continue forever?

I could use org-class, but then it wouldn't be exported to ical 
nicely. I was hopefully with <2018-01-10 Wed 16:00 
+2w>--<2018-04-10 Wed 16:00 +2w> but this just put the range as 
counting every day in the interim. Is there an existing way to 
have an end-date on a repeating cycle?

Have you tried with DEADLINE:? I seem to remember to have read something 
like that somewhere. Don't trust me. If it helps, I am glad, but I am 
not sure.

I just tried

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    DEADLINE: <2018-04-19 Thu>
    <2018-01-10 Wed 16:00 +2w>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But unfortunately entries were still appearing after the 
deadline.

Have a look at 
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sexp-Diary-Entries.html 
However, I am not sure if you can use an Emacs sexp to specify an end 
date.

You can try this:
```
* Test repeat time range with end date
DEADLINE: <2018-01-01 Mon 12:00 .+2d>--<2018-01-13 Sat>
```
This will repeat, and end on the day 13. Also deadline works fine.

Re: Orgmode repeater intervals with end date

[Tory S. Anderson]

Thanks; oddly, that works.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** TODO Personal Meeting
    DEADLINE: <2018-01-10 Wed 16:00 .+2w>--<2018-04-18 Wed>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I still get a daily count on every day in the interim:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(8/99):  TODO Personal Meeting
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I suppose I can work around that. Oddly, it doesn't seem to 
work with plain dates or with SCHEDULED: . Any idea why?

FWIW, this syntax is not supported. It could do anything.

I was very pleased to find, when browsing the manual for a 
different reason, the 'orgmode' solution to the problem, which 
provides daily customization ability and also maintains 
exportability: `org-clone-subtree-with-timeshift`[1], with which I 
can easily accomplish my goals and even consolidate my 
notes-for-that-event-instance. I'm just writing this here because 
it has totally upgraded my planning experience and I wish I'd 
known about it sooner!

Thanks all!

I do think I remember that I linked to this article somewhere in
Worg.

I've now added a FAQ to this in Worg.

"How can I let a task repeat until a certain date?"

Thanks!
