Multiple Children - Single Claim Chore

[ben0551]

2 kids, I want to have Dishwasher as a chore which can only be claimed once per day. When I add the chore and allocate to the children, they can both claim it... but it's only unstacked once.

Likewise for chores like "First Shower" where they can get some bonus points.

Is this possible now? If so I may have missed the setting!

This would set a competition I LIKE IT game on!!!

Seconding. This seems much more immediately useful than the current "Shared" chore. In fact, my initial assumption when I was first looking at this was that a "Shared Chore" would be a chore that all kids could see but only one could claim. On the other side, I'm having trouble thinking of examples of chores where I'd expect and require both kids to participate... Like, as long as the basement was cleaned, I don't care if one of the kids didn't help, he just won't get rewards.

Setting this up for the first time as an experiment with wife approval and immediately started trying to figure out how to do this and landed on this thread. I first added a list of 'get ready for the day' chores that each kid has to do, but after that wanted a dishwasher chore that any of them could do but was first come first serve. I may play around with triggers to see if I can auto-cancel a daily chore based on someone else completing it, but this seems like it would be useful in many areas.

like everybody in this post i thought that shared chore ment it would do exactly this.
if one kids claims it, it is done for the day.
so i guess the approval state would be set to approved as soon as one kid gets approved.
(in stead of becoming approved_in_part)

I'll upvote this idea as well. Creating a friendly competition to complete shared tasks early is a beneficial use case for me as well. Implementing shared chore as either "everyone complete" or "single complete" would be a possible way to differentiate between the original design and a newer workflow which would automatically mark it complete for all when the first one claims and is approved.

...and I'm an idiot and didn't look at the beta to see that you already have this feature set up for future. My apologies and thank you for the great work.

This implemented in the beta 3. It’s a completion Criteria of “shared first”.

[ben0551]

If approval is enabled this works as expected if Auto approve is enabled the child can claim unlimited times

I'll look into it, thanks. What approval reset are you using?

Once per day, resets at midnight
