After adding, it becomes a new recurring task even though “routine” was selected when creating it.  
Any suggestions?

The page I’m referring to is this one:

My assumption is they were different because while there’s a unique place to create a “routine” (but not a task), where “tasks” can be added, so can “routines.” 

Also, On that page where I’m prompted to create a routine, why is only one (the very first one I ever created, I believe) shown, even though I’ve created many?

If that’s expected then i suppose the app is functioning properly in this regard.

Hey! Just to clarify — in Numo, a routine is a recurring task 😊  
So if it’s showing up as a recurring task, that’s expected behavior.

But if you’re noticing something weird — like it’s not behaving like a routine (e.g. it’s editable like a one-time task or not showing streaks/progress), could you please share a screenshot or describe exactly what feels off?  
We’d love to investigate!
