=============== Recurring tasks =============== When handling a project, the same task often needs to be performed several times: for example, weekly meetings or status reports. The **recurring tasks** feature allows you to automate the creation of those tasks. .. seealso:: `Odoo Tutorials: Recurring tasks `_ Configuration ============= To enable recurring tasks, go to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Settings`, then activate :guilabel:`Recurring Tasks`, and press :guilabel:`Save`. Set up task recurrence ---------------------- In an existing task, click the :icon:`fa-repeat` (:guilabel:`Recurrent`) button next to the :guilabel:`Deadline` field. Then, configure the :guilabel:`Repeat Every` field according to your needs. A new task in recurrence will be created once the status of the previous task is set to :guilabel:`Done` or :guilabel:`Canceled`. The new task is created on the project dashboard with the following configuration: - :guilabel:`Stage`: is set to the first stage of the project dashboard (:guilabel:`New` or equivalent); - :guilabel:`Name`, :guilabel:`Description`, :guilabel:`Project`, :guilabel:`Assignees`, :guilabel:`Customer`, :guilabel:`Tags`: are copied from the original task; - :guilabel:`Deadline`: is updated based on the :guilabel:`Repeat Every` field (e.g., if the task is set to repeat once a week, 7 days will be added to the deadline); - :guilabel:`Milestones`, :guilabel:`Timesheets`, :guilabel:`Chatter`, :guilabel:`Activities`, :guilabel:`Subtasks`: are **not** copied from the original task. Once a recurrence is configured, a **smart button** on the task displays the total number of existing recurrences. Edit or stop task recurrence ---------------------------- **To edit** the recurrence, open the last task in recurrence. Any changes made on the task will be applied to the tasks that will be created in the future. **To stop** the recurrence, open the last task in recurrence and press the :guilabel:`Recurrent` button next to the :guilabel:`Planned date`.
