Repeating tasks: End of the month option

Right now, there's no way to create a task that appears on the end of every month (given some months have 28, 29, 30 or 31 days). Please create this option.

Thanks for implementing this "End of month" feature. I think it would also be usefull to have the ability to use "End of month" as "Last day of the month". i.e. I follow-up many task that are due every (3) months on the last day. Actual "End of month" only works with Monthly tasks.

Is there a way to say something is happening on the Fourth Thursday of the month (like the definition for Thanksgiving) ?
I guess I want a broader ability to say when a task needs to be done, since we're humans with human needs, and not machines.

Many date handlers use an EOM check box or Yes/No flag.

sknipfing: Do you think that is the best way to mark these "floating" dates and times due? it doesn't seem as an interface that it gives you what you need. Perhaps a "generic month" interface that allows you to click on it, and then it tells you in English what it understood you to mean. Like if you clicked on the third thursday on the generic month, it would ask if you wanted the third thursday of the month, or if you wanted the second thursday after the first full week at the beginning of the month. This is as much a user-interface issue as it is a request for when to schedule an event.

whitten: I need a way to flag the date is the end of the month with a monthly repeat. Without being able to flag the task as an EOM due date, then is slowly moves from the 31st, to the 30th, and then down to the 28th, but never goes back up.
We can currently specify "repeat the 3rd thursday of every month". That is not what is being asked here.
