Hi,

Let me give an example: monthly payments.  
Scenario:

1. I create a todo with a due date, eg. “1st of January”
2. I define a period for re-occuring (week, month, year, number of days maybe) - for the scenario let’s choose “month”
3. When I check the todo as done, a copy is automatically created with the new due date, that is a month later (“1st of February” in this example)

I know todos do not have due dates as for now, but maybe alarm definition could be used …?

Regards & thanks in advance,
