There used to be an advanced setting in the reminders app that let you set days until removed from the list. If you set this value to 0 it would remove recurring items until it was due again. So for example, if I set up a reminder to change smoke detector batteries every 6 months I don't need nor want that task on my to do list every day until I need to complete it because there is no value to me in doing it earlier.

How do I hide these tasks?

If it can't be fixed is there an app suite that works?

Edit:
Microsoft Todo: doesn't work, same behavior.
