Repeating tasks allow you to automatically create recurring tasks for work that happens on a regular basis, such as weekly check-ins, monthly reports, reminders, or recurring client work.
How Repeating Tasks Work
When a new task is created from a repeating task:
Comments and activity logs are not copied over
Task details like members, labels, lists, and other task information remain available
This helps each repeated task start clean without previous discussions or activity history attached.
Setting up a Repeating Task
There are two ways to create a repeating task:
Option 1:
Hover over a task in a list
Click the three-dot menu
Select Repeat
Option 2:
Open the task
Click the Repeat button below the task title
You can configure the following settings for the repeating schedule:
Choose the frequency: weekly or monthly
Select the specific day and time for the repeat to happen
Set how often the task repeats (for example: every week, every 2 weeks, etc.)
Choose which list the repeated task should appear in
Choose whether the repeated task should be added to the top or bottom of the selected list. All available lists from the current board will appear in the list selection dropdown.
Once saved, a Repeat icon will appear on the task. Hovering over the icon will show when the next repeat is scheduled.
The first repeated task will be created on the first upcoming date that matches your repeating schedule. For example, if you set a task to repeat monthly on the 28th, the first repeated task will be created on the next upcoming 28th, followed by the 28th of each subsequent month.
You can also use the Repeating filter in boards to quickly display all tasks with an active repeating schedule.
Repeating Tasks with Due Dates
If the original task has a due date set, newly created repeated tasks will also automatically receive due dates that follow the same scheduling pattern as the original task.
Note: The task's due date determines the due dates assigned to future repeated tasks, but it does not determine when the recurring schedule itself begins. The schedule follows the recurrence settings you configure.
Weekly Repeating Tasks with Due Dates
For weekly repeating tasks, each new task keeps the same weekday pattern as the original task while following the configured repeat interval.
For example:
Original task due date: Friday, September 5
Repeat schedule: Every Monday
The newly created repeated task will receive a due date of Friday, September 12.
Monthly Repeating Tasks with Due Dates
For monthly repeating tasks, the due date follows the same date-of-month pattern as the original task, whenever possible.
For example:
Repeat schedule: Monthly, on the 28th
Original task due date: September 30th
The next task will be created on October 28, with an October 30 due date. The same monthly pattern continues as long as the repeating schedule remains active.
Important: If a month is shorter (such as February), the due date adjusts to the closest valid date within that month.
The repeating schedule stays attached to the original task - it does not move to the newly created task. To check the next scheduled occurrence, open the repeating schedule on the original task.
Removing a Repeating Schedule
If you want to stop a task from repeating:
Option 1:
Hover over the repeating icon on the task in the list
Click the icon
Click the Remove (trash) icon
Option 2:
Hover over a task in a list
Click the three-dot menu
Select Repeat
Click the Remove (trash) icon
Option 3:
Open the task in a modal
Click the Repeat button below the task title
Click the Remove (trash) icon
Once removed, the task will no longer create future repeated tasks.
