We’re creating a lot of recurring tasks and have two pain points:
Task Progress is retained when the new recurrance is created, basically everything says “Done” on the new instance of the task
Our business operates on a 4-wk, 4-wk, 5-wk quarter, so quarterly tasks are due every 13 wks…would be great if the custom recurrance wasn’t limited to a max of 12 wks. I feel like this recently changed as I was creating recurring tasks 6-8 wks ago and the options looked different. Anything to continue expanding flexibility in scheduling recurrances would be of great value!
@Shannon_Masterson technically the Asana-created object you are referring to is indeed a Custom Field.
If I understand your issue, one thing you can do is set a rule so that when a new task (ones created when a recurring task is completed as well) the Task Progress is set to “blank”.
I believe this thread aligns with your request. Including a 13th week would be the same as setting the recurrence to every 3 months IF you could select specific days of the week. Currently with the monthly recurrence you can’t control whether the task falls on a work day or not which is specifically what the other thread targets.
Also, yeah, the date picker changed a bit but I don’t believe any functionality was taken away.
@Emily_Roman might also merge your post with the thread I mentioned above if she agrees the request is similar enough.
@Marie I could have sworn this was working before but I’m finding several of my Rules like this currently are not. These Rules trigger when a new task is added to a project, but the catch is the new tasks created stem from completed recurring tasks. I have actions set to change Custom Fields to default values when new tasks are created from completed recurring tasks. Any idea why this wouldn’t be working at the moment?
