@JeremiahHorstick I have just requested access to workspace, I hope it is still alive a couple of years later. (Thanks in advance) I wonder if in meantime Smartsheet have developed a simpler solution? I am a complete beginner to Smartsheet and I not skilled in Automation nor in cell formulas that you guys all seem to use. I just want to manage our (scientific academic lab) projects without spending too much time learning another 'language'. Recurring tasks at various frequencies should be added to the list of highly needed features please !

Hello @dizzy_brain!
There is definitely something to be said for becoming a behind the scenes wizard at making some Smartsheet magic happen. But not all of it is overly complicated.
Can you please provide some specific details in terms of what your needs are so that we can better understand what you are hoping to accomplish. If you have a mock up - that would be helpful.
Wishing you all the best!

@dizzy_brain This solution provides extensibility for your business logic.
As anyone requests access to the Workspace I share it.
The workspace contains a basic one-sheet solution, and a 2-sheet solution that allows you to incorporate recurring logic considering when the last time a given recursive task was completed.

I just requested access as well. Would you be able to provide me access, please?

@JeremiahHorstick Thanks for sharing your ideas on this solution. While looking at the first sheet it made a lot of ideas click in place. I am trying to create a Compliance process with annual recurring tasks and I am intending to use some of your ideas. Thanks for the inspiration. - MTFBWY

Are we still lacking a leaner solution to this, or are we still needing to resort to the two dizzying solutions? This is a fundamental aspect of Project Management and really hoping there's something more seamless.

@JeremiahHorstick thanks for sharing this! I tried my hand at creating it, but was struggling. Therefore, requested access to the smartsheet workspace. Thanks in advance :)

@JeremiahHorstick I am really trying to make this solution work. I have your workspace but there seems to be hidden columns that the formula references. Can you unhide them? Also, is there any way to make a video walkthrough? For a newer person in Smartsheets this is really advanced, but I really need the capabilities.
