In the repeat inspector, there's the option to repeat from the "assigned date". What exactly is the assigned date? In the date inspector, you can apparently assign a start, due, and complete date. To which one of these assigned dates is the repeat inspector referring?

I'm starting to think that this is a UI inconsistency. Perhaps "assigned date" in the repeat inspector actually means "due date"?

Hmm...maybe it would be clearer to call it the "due date".

The assigned date can also be the start date, given that either of the dates can be set without the other. Since the effect of repeating on either the start or due dates would be the same (i.e. shifting the entire start-due block one unit ahead) the choice is between saying something like "repeat every n units from assigned date" or "repeat every n units from start/due date". Assigned seems clear enough.

Not to me. It's ambiguous. In fact, the Complete date is also assigned by the user. If the effect is the same regardless of whether it's referring to the start or due date, then the term "start/due" might be better.

"Scheduled Date" is the term I think we're looking for.
