allow for trigger "if task has recurring due date"

[Lutz_Lehmann]

I want all recurring tasks assigned to me to automatically be moved to a dedicated section titled “recurring tasks”, which with the current triggers is impossible to realise. Combined with the fact that any new instance of a recurring task shows up in “most recently assigned” instead of the previously selected section makes recurring task a f***ing nightmare to work with

We are using more of an agile approach with the sections where we use them to denote the status of a task (Not Started, In Progress, etc.). The problem is that when a recurring task is created, it does it in the section the task was last in, which is super unhelpful. We want an option to specify what section the task should be created in.

Hello @Addam,

Welcome to the Asana Forum

Unless I am missing something, there isn’t a solution for this yet. See also:

Moving recurring task back and forth between sections

Welcome, @Micah_B, and thanks, @Bastien_Siebman, I’m afraid I don’t have a solution to your specific request; I’m not sure that what you’re asking is possible with rules. Depending on the nature of the task, I sometimes implement an alternative approach of just having a single task and tracking the history within it, either in subtasks or the Description. Then I just have a single task and maybe that allows some rules to be used or, if not, then it’s just one task to move around. Hope that he…

You can define the behavior of recurring tasks in your My Tasks section

Feature request: Make recurring tasks appear in a specific section after being completed

When organizing tasks we usually use sections to categorize tasks for context in which they must be done, such as office, errands, meetings, etc. We have recurring tasks in each context, but the way recurring tasks currently work, once marked as complete, a task reappears on the “Recently Assigned” section, and each time it must be re assigned to the appropriate section manually, this is annoying and affects productivity. I recommend adding an option to make recurring tasks appear in a specifi…

But I think what you are looking for is rather doing this on a project level? Maybe we should consider moving this to Product Feedback and potentially merging with

@ambforumleader am I missing something?

Thank you,

Yes, definitely a feature request. It is making the use of sections for an agile project and recurring tasks impossible.

it would be helpful I I can choose/identify recurring tasks when setting up rules. Then I can set the rule for them to move to a specific section I want when completed instead of respawning in the same section where they were closed.
