Skip Recurring Task
Gene
Please add a skip recurrence option for tasks. I would like the repeating task to move on to the next occurrence and stop showing in my today view. Sorry but some recurrences just can't happen but they will happen next time. BTW you still haven't solved true 2 ways sync for Google Calendar especially for recurring tasks.

I think this is definitely a need. I can usually hack this by simply changing the date instead of completing the task. That relies on me remembering what the recurrence is set to, or I have to go look it up first. Which is not an efficient use of time.
Two things I think I need.
- First the ability to skip to the current task (skip dates that will be in the past.) manually.
- Settings in recurring tasks that will automatically do one of two things. Either skip to the next future date (or today), or follow the recurring logic every time.
Sometimes, I have tasks that are not date based, but I need to do regularly. For example, every week, I need to update budgets. If I get behind, I go in and update budgets, I am now caught up, no matter how long I skipped the task.
Other times I have tasks that are date oriented.
For example, contractors have to send in their invoices twice a month. I have to log them. I have to process the contractor invoices for the first half of the month. If I get behind when I complete it, I have the next task to do, which is process the second half of the month. I am not caught up to skip to the current task date, I have only completed the set that is in the date range of the task I am completing.

Adding a vote - the recurrence functionality is too clunky and doesn't allow for these basic adjustments

Would really like to see a skip option, rather than having to manually go in and skip!

Wouldn't it be better to just be able to remove or change single instances of a recurrence? For example, if I know my morning repeating instance of check emails can't happen this morning I can either delete it or change the time without effecting any other occurrences of the task.
I think this is what is really needed.

This feature would be very helpful.
However i saw some ppl posted here that they feel that by marking the task as completed just because they dont wanna disturb the recurrence of the task makes them feel as lying to themselves...
I have found a solution (actually one of the Clickup support agents provided it to me).
Create a status where you will move the skipped recurring tasks.

It appears that we are all seeking the option to override a single occurrence for various reasons. For instance, if we have a recurring task every Friday but an upcoming Friday is a federal holiday, the desire is to move that task to a different day. Alternatively, if there is a method to copy tasks to multiple future dates without being bound to the recurrence, that would also be acceptable.

Would be great to have a "skip recurrence" button in these places:
- Inbox
- Task view
- Calendar view
