Repeating Tasks & Calendar View

[Johnathon_Zimmerman]

First of all, I’m loving Asana so far. Though my team consists of just me at this point, it’s been very helpful, and when I start to bring on more team members in the future, I’m sure Asana will be all that much more useful.

That being said, I have come across one thing that I thought would be useful. I occasionally look at the calendar view to see what I have going on the following days through the week to make sure I’m spacing out my tasks in a manageable way, but sometimes I forget to account for repeating tasks. This isn’t really an issue as I know I should just be better at remembering which tasks are repeating, but I did think it would be incredibly useful for repeating tasks to be displayed each day they’re set to repeat in the calendar view rather then just appearing once they’ve been checked off the current day.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! This tool has changed my life for the positive.

Hello

It is actually a known limitation, you can find the existing thread using the search engine on the forum.

Visibility of all Recurring tasks

I question came up today, I didn’t know how to answer. We created a weekly recurring task, but couldn’t see all of the tasks in the calendar only the next week. Is there a way to view all of the recurring task as you would if you created a recurring calendar event. Also how do you make sub-task appear in the calendar? Thanks Phil.

Visibility of future dated repeating tasks on calendar

Currently, the Calendar will only display the next occurrence of a recurring task. This therefore means we cannot use asana calendar for planning into the future which is extremely annoying. If a project management tool is supposed to be used for managing team and tasks (it is implied that these tasks are to happen in the future), why can it not be used to manage future re-occurring tasks?

(moderators could probably merge them!)

Thanks @Bastien_Siebman and welcome @Johnathon_Zimmerman

Johnathon, since we already have a thread open, I would recommend adding your vote at the top of these existing threads. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!

Hi there, any news about these case? We would like to plan and see future repeating events that are shown in the calendar directly. (Not only after the event has passed in the current week.)

Thanks Daniel

Hi @Daniel_Angermann, thanks for reaching out!

We have recently sent an update in the main thread (Visibility of all Recurring tasks in calendar view):

@Marie

I’m aware of this issue and in fact I brought it up to the calendar team last week during one of our meeting. We’re currently doing some research to help improve the calendar and this is was one of my top request, so hopefully it will help get it prioritised! While I can’t promise anything at that stage, I’ll make sure to keep you posted as soon as I know more!

We don’t have immediate plans for this feature but as soon as we have more information we’ll send updates in the main thread.

I hope this helps!

Any updates on this? It’s been 9 months since the update above and nearly three years since the thread was created with everyone asking for it I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this feature! So hard to plan when you can’t see what’s on the calendar

[Bastien_Siebman]

My solution to this was to build a tool that creates a “real” recurring task

[anon9789445]

Are you able to share how to do this with your tool outside of granting access to our work/asana? I am researching if this is possible and do not have the ability to grant such access.

[Bastien_Siebman]

The only solution would be to have my tool/my code hosted on your own server, basically granting access to yourself. Reach out to bastien@ido-clarity.com to discuss details.
