Todoist, mark recurring task as complete forever

I have recurring tasks in Todoist that I’d like to mark as complete forever, that is, stop the recurrence.

The action ‘mark task as completed’ only marks a single recurrence as completed. The action ‘update task’ doesn’t seem to let you update the relevant field.

Any ideas?

Best answer by Sigurdur130

I figured out a workaround using two actions.

  1. Update task: Change the due date. This has the side-effect of removing any recurrence, so now it’s just a regular task, not a recurring one.
  2. Mark as complete. 

Functionally, this is the same as marking a recurring task as ‘complete forever’.
