Add me to the list! It’s kind of ridiculous that people have been asking for this feature since 2017.
I thought I would check on the progress of showing reocurring tasks and can’t believe this is still ongoing! I’m sure I’ve seen someone mention that this can be done with a work around? @Bastien_Siebman perhaps you shared a solution with me? ![]()
I possibly shared my tool → iDO Tools - Improve Asana with our tools and automations
Yes that was it! thanks Bastien ![]()
Any updates on this? It’s been open since 2017 and is one of the highest upvoted issues—just wondering why it hasn’t been addressed.
Yikes I can’t believe this is falling on deaf ears. I’m not sure whether to submit a post pleading for this feature, or just not waste my time and ask others what different solutions you’ve found. I don’t want a workaround. I just want it to work.
I need to plan out my maternity leave and was planning on use the calendar feature to do so. Now I need to spend my entire morning recreating something that Asana should be able to offer. It’s either that or explain to our C-suite that the project tool that is supposed to create efficiencies will only allow me to plan one month out, unless I spend significant time working around the root issue and in turn erasing any efficiencies it provides.
I’ve stopped paying for Asana. I was hoping it would serve as a comprehensive calendar and task management solution, but the lack of key features—like the one requested by hundreds in this thread—and limited automation options made it hard to justify the cost. Now, I just use it for basic task tracking, while relying on other tools (like Google) for scheduling and automation. It’s not the integrated solution I was hoping for, but it’s a more practical approach than continuing to pay for functionality that isn’t there.
I know I am beating the preverbal dead horse, but this is a massive miss. I will make my suggestion. Since you already have the code to create the next recurrence, just give us an action button at the bottom of the calendar to create the x occurrences.
BUMP. We still need answers here.
Desperately need the recurring tasks to show up on the calendar on the future dates. That is the whole point of using a calendar. It should also have the ability to recur “4th business day of the month” .
Hello all! Garrett here, a Group PM Lead in charge of our core project management capabilities. I acknowledge the miss here, and have added the “Considered” tag. It didn’t make it into our most recent Project & Task team roadmaps focused on extensive Subtask and project list view / task pane improvements, but our new strategy for Projects & Tasks is very much focused on closing foundational gaps like this
This may be the most exciting update I’ve seen from Asana ever! I’ll be following this ![]()
While I’m glad someone from Asana has checked in again (7 years later), but if this feature didn’t make this roadmap, just how far out are we looking that it might even be “considered” again? As many have mentioned (and 55.7k have viewed), this feature has been a request since 2017.
@Kathleen_Quin_Voss it would be disingenuous to promise a timeline, but from a stack ranked priority perspective, holistically addressing recurring task pain points & feature gaps just missed our current half. Prioritizing “completeness” is important to me, and this half we’re working on improving the user experience around subtasks that I’m really excited to be able to share with you all in the coming months. Again while I can’t promise a timeline, this is a miss I’m passionate about
Curious how deep this goes. Will this just be a way to visualise future recurring tasks? Or will it actually be creating a series?
Thank you for continuing to advocate for this. I would love to make use of the Asana resourcing options so my team has real time access to my capacity, but this limitation puts that functionality back into Excel with duplication of effort. I would be happy to share additional feedback that might help to prioritize this request.
@Jan-Rienk @Deena1 As I mentioned, the incredible @anon50834620 from my team is currently focused on building out our subtask roadmap, but I’ve taken an action item (via an Asana task
) to follow up with you both in the coming months when we’re ready to start defining that work. @Jan-Rienk Recurring vs Series is a compelling differentiation!
Tangentially related:
A series might be challenging to implement, but Outlook did it, so I’m sure Asana can do too. ![]()
I’ll share my thoughts about this.
It would require a differentiation between “edit current task” and “edit this and future tasks”.
Series would also allow to account for recurring tasks in workload.
Re-planning would probably require some thought. For instance the tasks that I’m not doing when I’m on vacation would be nice to still just be able to drag the next one to a date after vacation, and have that interpreted as “this and future tasks” to easily create a gap. Maybe there is a situation where this isn’t desired to be default behaviour upon dragging a task to or over the next date, but I can’t think of it.
Please add this option! For marketers using Asana for social media planning, we SO OFTEN have this need to see recurring content (Instagram stories, for example) and need to see it on the calendar.
