Conditionally recurring nodes

Explain the problem as you see it

Nodes’ relationship with time is limited to “created date” system fields and whatever we can come up with using fields.

Why is this a problem for you?

In a more abstract sense, I’d say some kinds of nodes can “get in the way” when they’re shown at a time when they’re unneeded, or be absent at a time when they’re needed.

In practical terms, I’d like to have recurring tasks.

Suggest a solution

There should be a way to control whether certain nodes appear in your #day node based on date-related criteria.

Examples:

  • Show me a reference to this node every Tuesday
  • Clone this node every 7th day of the month
  • Snooze this node for the next 3 days
  • Show a reference to this node every Saturday until it is checked as Done (or a different, field-based conditional)

This would allow for recurring tasks, but could also have many other uses.
