Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have a transaction that repeats 3 times a week. In order to have a repeat on specific days of the week, currently I would need to add 3 separate schedules.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

I would like the ability to select specific days instead of just an interval of amount of days.

Looks like you could do this now, but you would have to had 5 of each of the specific days so that you don't ever miss them.

So a 1st monday, 2nd monday, 3rd....5th monday
1st wednesday, 2nd wednesday....5th wednesday

and so on for all desired days. That should be a built in option and not need this

In my case I need a transaction on Mon, Wed, Fri. I could get away with 3 weekly repeats, one for each day. But I should just be able to select the specific days instead of the day interval. Why have 3 schedules for the same transaction.

you don't need 3, but its a messy single one with 15 specific days called out. But like I said it should be possible without that hacky method
