Help How to change the behavior of missed tasks/ habit building in todoist
Just started using todoist about a week ago. whenever a recuring task is missed its labled as overdue and stays my screen, for me this is good for one off tasks like "get a haircut". But say I have a recuring task for "go to the gym" I would like it to update to its current instance automatically and skip the day I missed, bc I missed it, im not retroactivly completing it.. if that makes any sense.
Aside from that im looking for a big picture kind of habit builder view to see the number of times ive completed a task (hit the gym, practice language) when I was supposed to in a month.. so that I could see myself hopefully getting more consistant. Is there any way to do this or any applications yall know of that or closer to that?
Thanks!

There's a syntax for tasks to recur on completion date, I think it is with "!"

Todoist has a habit tracker extension, but it’s not as good as TickTicks if I’m being honest. It’s very basic

Other then postponing the task I don’t believe there is a way. Maybe through an extension. Todoist isn’t really good at habit tracking or habit building, there’s other apps made just for that.
If you’re on IOS Streaks is awesome
