Repeating an event to a number of occurrences is possible in Rapla. When you create an event in Rapla, by default, the event is set as non-repeating and will give you the options to select the days, time, and finally the number of occurrences you want the event to happen. This knowledge article will provide you with the steps on how to add or edit a repeating event in Rapla.
