I know that a nonrepeating task returns "missing value" when the repetition field is queried, but how do I specify that a task be nonrepeating? I've tried a number of things, for example

set repetition of thetask to null

but none of these seem to work. Suggestions?

Have you tried 'set repetition of theTask to missing value'?

(Untested.)

Yes, that worked, thanks!

My original goal was to duplicate a task an then make the duplicate nonrepeatable. However, when I tried this:

set newTask to duplicate aTask to after aTask with properties {repetition:missing value}

That didn't work, causing me to (incorrectly) give up on using the "missing value" term.

scb did you ever get this to work? I would love to use this!

Yes, the code I used successfully is this:

set newTask to duplicate theTask to after theTask
set repetition of newTask to missing value

Do you have an example of the complete script you are using by chance? Also does the script only work if run in Project view?
