Getting a recurring reminder to display within the Scheduled view uniquely per occurrence

Can anyone advise how to get a recurring reminder to display multiple times (once per occurrence) within the Scheduled view? I can setup the task and it's recurrence settings fine, but when I got to the Scheduled view the task only displays under the heading for the date of the first occurrence. For example if I set the task up today and set it to occur daily, when I open the Scheduled view under the "Today" heading I can see the task and in the light grey description it indicates that its been set to recur (e.g. it says "Daily"). However under the heading for the next day the item isn't listed. I can work around it by creating the task multiple times in my list, but I'd prefer to have the recurrence create unique items in the Scheduled view on its own if possible.

Hey LOSCY,

If you select the item as complete for the day, does it show up for the next day? We tested this and that seems to be what happens on our end.

Cheers!

Hi merlinapple,

Oh I hadn't attempted that, but that does happen when I test it too. Thanks for the tip!

I was hoping to be able to see the task listed at each recurrence from the outset, so that I can scan the Scheduled view and have a sense of how full my days are for the coming week, but this is helpful to know that it will appear under the next occurrence date once the current version of the task is completed. I know what I'm seeking is effectively doable in Calendar, but I prefer Reminders for items which don't have specific start/end times within a day, and which can be completed by me or other people (who I share different Reminders Lists with).

For now I'll probably plan to just create the same event individually for two week periods and hope this might be something added to the Scheduled View in the future.

Thanks again for your suggestion merlinapple!
