Repeat not working when task is checked in Daily Note

[raph90]

Describe the bug
If I have a note, called 'Home Maintenance' for example, and I create a repeating todo there, and schedule it for today, if I now navigate to the Daily Note for the day it's scheduled for (today), and check it, then the note will not automatically generate a new repeat. I think this is because the page that it's originally on (Home Maintenance) hasn't actually been saved...

Is there anyway around this?

Skipping the following section because I'm not quite sure if this is a bug or a feature request.

Thanks! (Great extension btw).

I'm just double checking that you're using the @repeat(...) syntax, not the built-in one?
And that you have a Repeats plugin trigger on the note in question?
If so, then this is expected behaviour, as the trigger only fires when you have the note open in a NP window and change it.
I've asked @EduardMe a number of times for an "onSave" trigger for exactly this sort of reason.

Hi @jgclark, yep this is what I'm doing:

Then on the today page I get:

If I click done on that todo, I get this:

But if I then go back to the self maintenance page, I see this:

So basically it updates, but doesn't repeat. Does my syntax all look correct?

Thanks. You confirm that this is due to a limitation with the current app triggers.

Having the same issue, is this something being worked on (the triggers limitation)?

I can't change the way triggers work: only the app developer can do that ...

... However ...

I've now added a /Generate @repeats in recent notes command to the Tidy plugin for you @raph90. This generates any needed new @repeat() lines in all recently-changed notes.
It means you don't have to add the special trigger on every relevant note: instead you can include this command in your Daily Note template, or run it manually every day or two.
