Repeating / Recurring Tasks (extra functions)

Galen Ash

Is there a possibility to add 4 extra features in the Repeating/Recurring Task settings options:

Repeating Task is based on actual 'Completion Date' (not the Due Date that was entered).
Repeating/Recurring Task is based on the actual 'Due Date' (no matter when the task was completed.
Create a setting that will allow us to either 'Show all future Repeating Tasks', OR

'Only Show the Next Recurring Task' after the current task is complete.

Note: Other applications that have these features are very handy for those of us that plan out our Weekly and Monthly Calendars and Planners. Showing All future recurring tasks gives a great visual representation.

Any chance of being able to have similar options when Deleting Repeating/Recurring Tasks (Google Calendar has this feature):

Delete Repeating Task

: This Task

: This & Following Tasks

: All Tasks

Show future repeating tasks

For example, if I create a record/task that repeats daily, I want the option to view x number of future instances for that task.

This is especially useful in calendar view so you can see all your upcoming tasks for the week/month without needing to create each one individually.

Good suggestion. Clickup has a view of recurring tasks but it's never loaded for me. Ever.

Hiya Madeline Yang, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:

How many future instances would you typically want to view at once?
Would you like the option to customize the frequency of these future instances (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly)?
Is there a specific way you would like these future tasks to be displayed in the calendar view?

Madeline Yang

Hi Jon Darbyshire,

It depends on the frequency of the task. If its a daily task, I would like to see up to all instances for the month (31 instances). If it's a weekly task, I would like to see all 4 instances of the month, if it's a monthly task, I would like to be able to see the 12 instances of the year, etc. You can compare it to a Microsoft Teams calendar, for example, with recurring meetings.
Yes, I would like the option to select the frequency.
These tasks can be displayed the same as how they are currently displayed in the calendar view, the only difference would be that you can see the same task appear on multiple future dates.

Thanks!

I would like to add for item 2. can we have the ability to set frequency by # of hours?

Randeep Sandhu

Madeline Yang Jon Darbyshire Agree adding frequency by # of hours will help in lot of solution related to Manufacturing setup & schedule

I would like to add to this, that the automation builder has the ability to assign a recurring task status when creating or updating a record.

David C

This would be great for building a scheduling app. Love it

System Admin

I would also want an option to set an end date or set a number of occurrences, instead of running it forever.

g h

it should also update the start date accordingly

Also recur "On Schedule" not just when completed. Similar with Clickup

On repeating tasks allow Checklist fields either 1) Reset back to uncheck or 2) Leave as is.
