xScheduledTask stop all running tasks at the end of repetition duration" ?

[DevOpsBoondoggles]

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring:
Might just be being thick but is there no way to change the setting "stop all running tasks at the end of repetition duration"

The DSC configuration that is using the resource (as detailed as possible):
xscheduledtask 4.0.0.0 (xcomputermanagement)
Version of the Operating System and PowerShell the DSC Target Node is running:
server 2016 5.1
Version of the DSC module you're using, or 'dev' if you're using current dev branch:
4.0.0.0

It seems that nobody implemented StopAtDurationEnd yet. 🙂 I looks like an Boolean property should be added that is called StopAtDurationEnd, and for reference, it seems the property is on the trigger under Repetition (get the current value with $trigger.Repetition.StopAtDurationEnd). Referencing Creating an idle trigger in PowerShell for Windows Task Scheduler.
But seems it does not exist a property on the New-ScheduledTaskTrigger? 🤔

Labeling this as enhancement and help wanted so that anyone in the community can run with this.

@gabrielmccoll There won't be any new releases for xComputerManagement, so this should be added to ComputerManagementDsc.

ahh thank you kindly , I didn't realise this was kaput. Guess I should update everywhere . Sadly I don't think I've got the skills to do this. Though if someone gives me pointers I'm happy to bash in and see

This resource seems a bit complex at first, but I would follow another similar property RepeatInterval to see how it works, and then make the new property work similar.

But it is a bit of work adding unit tests and integration tests to the change too, but same goes here, look at similar properties tests and see how they are done.

If you want to give it a try we are happy to give pointers when needed. 🙂 Otherwise someone else in the community that need this might want to help with this.
