Hi,
When we manually create a task, we can choose to make it a repetitive task.
However, when creating a task is the action of a rule, that repeat option is replaced by a relative date. Which I also like and use.
But what about being able to trigger the creation of a repetitive task? Is that possible right now? Or do we simply have to create a rule that once completed, the action is to create the same task again?
Hi @Virginie6 Today, rules can’t set Repeat on tasks. That’s why you only see relative due dates when using “Create task” in a rule.
Handy options you can use instead
- Use one rule to create a task with a relative due date, then another rule that fires on completion to create the next copy. Example: When task marked complete → Create task due 7 days later. (Scope it to a section or add a checkbox/custom field to avoid loops.)
- If you want a steady cadence regardless of completion, set up one manual recurring task and let rules handle assignment, fields, or routing each time a new instance appears.
Thank you!
