Did rep_advanced format change?

c.e.perry	Posted: Jan 21, 2010 Score: 0 When did the format for the rep_advanced string provided by the API change? At one time Toodledo provided rep_advanced strings like these: Every Monday On the third Monday of each month Now the rep_advanced strings look like this: Every Mon The 3rd Mon of each month Were these changes announced, and I just missed it? Is there anywhere the format of the rep_advanced strings is documented? (I looked in the API docs, but couldn't find anything.) If there isn't a format definition anywhere, could we get one please? Thanks.

c.e.perry	Posted: Jan 22, 2010 Score: 0 Thanks for the reply. It's not based on the way that the user types them in, though. I'm the user that typed them in, and I typed them in using the top formats. Toodledo reformated my strings to look like the bottom ones. At one time I believe Toodledo formated them like the top ones, but not anymore. I knew about the help page you pointed me to, and you'll notice that the help page agrees with what I think used to be the format. The format that Toodledo is now providing is subtly different. Also, I interpret that page to define acceptable input formats. I'm looking for a definition of the output format. I encourage you to provide an output format definition in the API docs. Thanks for providing a wonderful product.
