Inserting todo time range

Inserting todo time range

I do have a recurring task Mo-Fri, but not at weekends.

I searched the manual and it offers a time range - like

    ** Test Time range

         <2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu>

But, of course, this doesn't mark a recurring task.

If instead I would use

    ** TODO Test Time range

         <2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu>

then this for org-mode would just be one todo; if I mark it done on Mon 
all other days are marked as done, too.

So how would I schedule a daily TODO only, say, this week from Mo - Fr?

The way I handle this, which isn't particularly elegant, is to just have
a heading for each day of interest.  So, in your case, something like

  ** TODO task (Mon)
  SCHEDULED: <2019-07-01 Mon ++1w>
  
  ** TODO task (Tue)
  SCHEDULED: <2019-07-02 Tue ++1w>
  
  [...]

  ** TODO task (Fri)
  SCHEDULED: <2019-07-05 Fri ++1w>

Yepp, that is how I do it, too. I just thought there were something more convenient.

Thank you anyway :-)

well, I think there are only wuerg-arounds to gain the desired
behaviour. First, you can use a sexp to specify the days on which your
task will be inserted into your agenda:

SCHEDULED: <%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 2 3 4 5))>

But with that your task is done when you set it to done. Something
like the following isn't perfect, but seems to work:


** TODO foobar
   DEADLINE: <2020-01-04 Sat +1d>
   SCHEDULED: <%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 2 3 4 5))>
   [2019-03-31 Sun]

I have also been wanting to be able to do this in my agenda, so I can
have my daily M-F schedule in my org-agenda buffer.

What would it take to write ORG to behave properly on a TODO range like that?
