Define when recurring tasks should be created

Hi, I understand that recurring tasks get created one working day in advance, but I would like if I could specify when the next recurrence is created, or the option to say that the next reccurence should be created when I complete the current reccurence.

The reason for this is when I on Sunday plan my week the recurrings tasks that will be due on Tuesday and onwards are not yet created = my planning soon crashes

I hope this was understandable.

I'm shocked this doesn't have more votes!

Based on the documentation, I assumed it would create the next task as soon as the previous one was completed. It reads, "you specify how many tasks you want to have in the workspace at a time until the recurrence ends." I have specified that I want 1 task at a time to exist, which would seem to mean that there will always be 1 task in the workspace. But if I have it set to 1, there are usually 0 tasks in the workspace.

Yeah, with three votes I guess this will never be fixed

The workaround seems to be setting the number of tasks to 2. That way, there's always at least 1. Makes perfect sense.

Hmm, I thought I've tried that, but will have another look

6 years later - and still task that is set to be monthly is not being created once the original task is completed.

Hey @Ellynoy Bar On! Welcome to the Wrike Community! 🎉

I see that you’ve already discussed this with our support team. As mentioned, currently recurring tasks don’t support creating the next task in the sequence immediately upon completing the previous one - they follow the schedule defined when the recurrence is set up.

Please feel free to share your use case or any feedback on what would help you most. Thanks! 😊
