How to make a task repeat in Kanban Tasks

A repeating task comes back on a schedule, so routine work such as a weekly report does not need to be created again each time. The schedule starts from the task’s due date.

Kanban Tasks

Before you start

Open the task you want to repeat, or create it first.

A task needs a due date before it can repeat.

Decide how often it repeats, and whether the series should stop on a date or after a number of tasks.

Step 1

Open the task’s dates

Open the task and select its due date, or Dates if it has none yet. Pick a due date in the calendar.

Date picker with November 13, 2026 selected as the due date, with Start date, Due date, and Repeat below the calendar
Set a due date first. The repeat options follow from it.

Step 2

Choose a repeat schedule

Under Repeat, open Does not repeat and choose a schedule: Daily, Weekly on the due date’s weekday, Monthly on the same day, Every weekday (Monday to Friday), or Custom…. Then select Apply.

Kanban Tasks confirms with Task recurrence created, and the task card shows a repeat icon beside its due date.

Due date 11/13/2026 with Repeat set to Weekly on Friday, above the Cancel and Apply buttons
Pick a schedule and select Apply.

Step 3

Set a custom pattern

Choose Custom… for any other pattern. Set how often it repeats, pick the days under Repeat on, and choose when it ends: Never, On a date, or After a number of tasks. Select Done, then Apply.

Custom recurrence dialog repeating every 1 week on Friday, with end options Never, On a date, and After 10 tasks
The summary at the bottom shows the pattern you set.

Step 4

Change or stop the series

When you edit, move, or delete a repeating task, Kanban Tasks asks whether the change applies to this task only, to this and the following tasks, or to the whole series. Completed tasks stay in the task history, and upcoming tasks stay out of the way until they are close.

Can’t choose a repeat schedule?

Repeat only works on tasks with a due date. Set the due date in the same date picker first. For more help, contact support .
