Yeah, this is a real pain of an issue for me - and also makes the "chain" feature useless.

If I have a daily (repetitive) task to Exercise then if I do not work out that day - what do I do? My choices seem to be:

1) check the skipped task as done.
even though I did not perform the task that day.
This defeats the purpose of tracking these tasks. Besides - I broke "the chain" and I want this be be recorded.

2) don't check the task as done.
So the next day - my Workout shows up as an overdue task (yesterday's task - not today's). If I do the task (workout) today, my only option is to check the "workout" task and it will be recorded as if I completed it YESTERDAY .. and after I check as done - it will show up as a current task today.

3) delete the task
But this would delete the repetitive (daily) task. I don't want to do this.

Am I missing something? Is there another way?
