End Dates for Recurring Tasks

I agree this is needed. Weird Asana doesn’t have this feature already.

I have a task set to repeat weekly. I want to create a custom rule that ends the repeat after the date in the custom field “Event Date” has been reached. Is this doable? I am hitting a wall in the rule builder.

Why are we nearly 8 years on and this still hasn’t been implemented?

Just adding to the chorus: Would love to be able to set an end date for recurring tasks.

I onboarded summer interns to Asana. They have some daily tasks. I’d like to have this end with their internship, but we’ll do so manually.

+1 this is an essential feature. Does anyone at Asana have an update on whether this will happen or not?

Agreed! This is a major flaw and makes me far less likely to recommend Asana. I have started looking into systems that have this. My urgent issue is that I have a project that has a deadline in 2 months. I need to check a live document minimum of 2x/week until the application process is over. I don’t want to delete the task because I often use tasks from prior years to assure I have all of my todos in order for the current year. Please help make this happen asap!

It’s almost seven years and this feature is yet to be delivered!

I’d like to create a weekday-only daily recurring task that runs within a fixed time window and then ends automatically.

Example: Repeat daily on weekdays from January 5 through January 26, then stop.

Right now, daily recurrence appears to be indefinite. Is there a way to set an end date or number of occurrences?

Hey Asana team, Seriously now, please get this done. This is a fairly simple feature that more basic tasks software has built in.

Hi!

Can we please pretty please get an option put in where we can add an end date for repeating tasks?

We use Asana for many things and it has revolutionized how we organize and get work done! However, it doesn’t work great for one of our most important tasks… giving medications or treatments to animals at our rescue sanctuary. We need it to be able to stop repeating on specific dates. There are millions of little things that our animal caregivers have to remember to do and creating a work around to create a reminder for an end date is something that easily slips through the cracks.

I created a fresh request because I got a recommendation from a representative who works at Asana in hopes that it will spark some attention to hopefully get the request implemented.

Thank you!

I have seen the previous requests in the forum related to this same request :slight_smile:

Welcome, @Carmen23,

The policy in the Forum is to group like requests, not have separate threads, so that’s why I’ve done the merge.

The original post dates from Dec. 2018 and this is still a topic of discussion. I hope we can this option soon as having to manually go back to those recurring tasks to “un-recur” them one by one is time consuming. I hope we get this feature soon so we can better manage our teams and day-by-day tasks. Thank you.
