Hey Bob,

I'm the same way.

Here is my process.

Instead of using a due date, use a start date.

Then in your filters, set your action filter to available.

You will only see actions that have started.

There is a bug with OmniFocus right now with repeating actions based on completion date.

to work around, use the based on assignment date option.

here's more info on the bug.

Completing a repeating action that will generate new dates based on completion date, uses the due date as reference and not the start date.

Example: (brian is my support ninja on this one)
Thanks for the follow up Brian.

Still having problems with this... however, at least the start date isn't jumping backwards.

Here is the test case:

test action startdate= 11/26 enddate=11/28
repeat daily on completed

the task starts off with the following startdates & endates and todays date is 11/30
11/26 11/28
complete it once
11/29 12/01
complete it again...
11/29 12/01

And therin lies the problem.
If todays date is 11/30
I still see that task to do.
But I've already done it. And when I mark it as complete, it won't advance to the next start date.

I am filtering by available tasks
There is no way for me to make that task go away.

I've completed the task for the day, but it still says I need to do the task.

The start date is what should be used for the next date generation.

This same process works correctly on completing based on assigned date.

Let me know if there are further clarifications or questions.

-------------

Let me know if I wasn't clear on this one.

I use to use due dates for all my actions... now it's all start dates. I only use a due date when I want a red or orange number to show up.
