How do I set up a recurring task that will repeat for a set period only? For example, I have a task that I need to do daily but only for two weeks.

Hi @Gary_Ball-Kilbourne :wave: and welcome to the Forums!

I don’t think this is something you can do in Asana just yet. 2 possible workarounds I can think of would be:

  1. Set the due date as reoccurring daily and when you finish that daily task for the last time, set the due date to the current date and then complete it. This will prevent Asana from automatically recreating a task for the next day.

  2. Duplicate the task using the Duplicate the task feature and set the due dates for each task to each day you need to complete it.

There may be another creative workaround using Rules and Custom Fields but that would be much more complicated than the 2 options I listed above. If this is a feature you would like to see incorporated make sure to Post it in the Product Feedback Category on the forum!

Cheers,
Matt
