Recurrently cards

[Cante]

It should be possible to define a recurrence interval.
For example: weekly repeat on monday at 20:00

How would you expect those cards to be handled? Should they just reset the due date once the last due date has passed and the notification about the overdue card has been send to the user?

[Cante]

This is true. You can close the ticket.

Other Apps solve this so:
When a recurrent task/card is archived/set to done it will pop up again in the future with a new due date

[juliushaertl]

Might be something once we have #534

Would like to se this Feature, soon. Especially since dashboard shows cards they are a cool alternative to a full calendar. So should it be hard to archive cards and reopen them again if they have a recurrent option?

Plus 1 for this. I like the Idea.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have the possibility to select "recurring" when creating the card in Deck. If "recurring" is selected, the user specifies the interval and defines an end date or a number of occurences after which not further repetition is to be scheduled. The user can then also select in which list the recurrences should appear. After creating the card, Deck creates the first occurence in the List where the "add card" button was clicked and also creates all following occrences in the list selected for recurrences (ie on hold).

Indeed, I'd love the ability to mark a card as done, and for it to then automatically reappear with the new due date as per the recurring interval. Possibly with the option of being put to the end of the list, or even to another list.
So there'd always just be "one" card in the deck, not multiple.

Right now, we can't even have recurring tasks, and so have to manage that manually or externally.

This would greatly help with workflow management.

Thanks for the consideration!

Any news on this?

[DDriggs00]

This would be a great feature.

I just noticed that I would like too to have a feature for "recurring" Deck cards...
I have just created a card to pay bills and I realize that I will have to do it every month...
Thx

What other apps or tools can help with this?

For reference, the issue with recurring tasks is here: nextcloud/tasks#34
The only nextcloud alternative is to try to use calendar events which do support recurrence, but this is not ideal.

[Extarys]

@meichthys I currently use a specific calendar for recurrence, and add emoji at the start of the event's name to see what's what at a glance, but it's a mess. I have 10+ events per day sometimes. (add the regular calendar events and you get eyestrain)

[viktorix]

Just wanted to add a bit more information as I would love to see this feature. For personal stuff, I've used Nifty project management app. Here's their UI to create a recurring card:

When a card is completed, a new task is created in the column where original recurring card was created. So if I create a recurring card in column "To Do", and then it is completed in the column "Done", the new card will be created in "To Do" column.

@viktorix Additionally, it would be nice if you could have a setting "Show card X days before due date". It would not make sense to have the task pop up again just after closing it. This would then be a nice minimalistic "Preventive Maintaince Task Scheduling" System.

I hope this will be added soon. I really want to use Deck instead of an external tool. People are requesting it since 2018 anyway :D
