Thanks for the explanation about the difference between "Assigned Date" and "Completed Date."

I'm still a little confused by the repeats that happen after an action is checked off. In both the "Assigned Date" and "Completed Date" instances, when you check off an action that doesn't have a due date, it repeats with a due date once you have checked off the initial instance.

For example if I have an action, "Trim cats claws" and I want to be sure to do this every 4 weeks, I would set it up as a repeating action with no "Start" or "Due" date using "Completed Date." Once I completed the action and checked it off, the action appears with a "Due date."

If GTD practice is to not have "artificial constraints" then how do repeating events fulfill this practice? I hope my question makes sense.
