Recurring Weekly Tasks

18k

Hello,

I've seen a couple of entries related to this, yet I think my question is simpler.

Is there a click somewhere that would automatically populate a weekly task? For example:

"Review Meeting", from 3/31/18 to 7/31/18, must occur weekly.

Is there an option for this, similar to my Google Calendar? Or do I need to copy and paste for these events/tasks and change the date for each week?

Thank you!

Hello,

There currently isn't a way to automatically create recurring tasks. The task will need to be copied and pasted down the sheet and the dates manually changed.

One trick to changing the dates quickly is to select 2 date cells that you've already set 7 days apart, then drag down from the bottom-right corner of the selection box. More on this is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1641473-auto-filling-formulas-and-formatting#dragfill

When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right of the community site and let our Product team know that you'd like to see a more automated process for this in Smartsheet.

Hello,

The creation of weekly task on a single line is interesting.

Has the capability been developped yet?

Thank you

Hi,

Good news! It's coming!

Customers have requested the ability to set up workflows that repeat on a regular schedule.

We're preparing recurrence for time-based workflows so you can save even more time on repetitive steps, such as daily due date reminders and weekly status update requests. This automation enhancement will be available this spring.
