repeat on specific day - request

hi, i think if MS To Do can handle repeat tasks on specific days, it's will be perfect. For example: Repeat the task every month on the first Tuesday.

    What's interesting is that you can accomplish this through Outlook (desktop) by creating a new Task with a Recurrence on it and adding it. The task can then be managed in To Do and it'll remember the recurrence pattern that it was assigned in Outlook.

      Actually, this is not true. The recurrence pattern is broken, it appears as NOT TRANSLATED: unhandled and it is just set to occur next unit of time. For example "last workday in month" is reset to "1st of each month"

    Mine has stopped working properly now that we've had an update and my large number of tasks now have many broken recurrences. This has become quite a time suck to repair and I'm very unhappy.
