Legacy Recurring Deprecation - Requests
in progress
Zach - ClickUp
Legacy recurring will be deprecated by the end of April 2024, and existing settings won't carry over. We strongly advise transitioning to the new recurring tasks beforehand.
Note:
If legacy recurring features are key to your workflow, please share feedback here. Your input will impact what we build next. To chat with someone at ClickUp, schedule a call here.Log In

In the legacy recurring settings there was an option to create recurring task with such behavior: after being closed, there was created a copy of a task, but without setting a due date.
I used this option often for some tasks and miss it in a new interface.

Hello. Could you please provide more guidance regarding what is required on the part of admins and users regarding this feature deprecation?
Will existing legacy recurring tasks be automatically converted to the new format?
Is there a way to filter tasks with legacy recurring feature?
Are there cases where admin or users need to pay special attention or edit manually?
Thanks
Zach - ClickUp
Mario Dieguez B.: Admins will not need to do anything necessarily. We'll be doing everything on our end, but we do recommend stopping usage of legacy going forward starting now (if your workflow requires features that only legacy has, then please continue. Like I mentioned before, we'll make sure to port the critical features when we deprecate)
We're still discussing what needs to be done in order to migrate the settings from legacy to the new recurring settings.
There is not a great way to do this today.

In the options of recurrence, add toggle "include time" so I can strip the time from the next iteration. I like to schedule my day by dragging tasks onto the calendar for that day. When it recurs in the future, I just want it to be a full day task again.

I'm a bit confused. If we're seeing the option to recur 'on schedule' that means we're not using legacy recurring, and should be okay, is that right?

Zach - ClickUp Could you or someone else please reply to my comment above? How do we know if we're using whatever feature this is that's going to be removed?

Zach - ClickUp: Thanks Zach. I think we're fine then. 😅
Zach - ClickUp
As an update for all folks watching this thread, we're moving the date to April. We want to make sure to bring over all of the critical features from legacy before deprecating.

I unfortunately don't have the time to see if this was already mentioned, but having the option for a task to recur for when both 'When Closed' and 'On Schedule' are active would be beneficial. Right now there is only the option for either, but our business works on clients monthly and it would be nice to have the clients done early stay in the 'Closed' section until the common recurring date when it gets shifted to the next month, while the late clients stay in the 'Overdue' section.

I echo what everyone in this post has said.
Having the ability to set a recurring task to only be created on a set schedule rather than when completed is a MUST. So many of our employee's that believe in "task zero" or completing all their tasks daily get super frustrated by this. Even when we tried to teach about filters, the fact is these tasks land on countless dashboards and task lists throughout the app... I've even had a few employee's suggest (and write a business case) moving our entire org to Notion or Jira due to this one missing feature.

I want to change the status of a task (from not started to active), a few days before the due date. Please let us do this in automations or recurring dates. Its overwhelming to see my active tasks as such long lists.

Well... As the fresh user, legacy for me just easier to understand.
I want to have an ability to setup something like:
"Every month, a week before the month ends."
Legacy easier at least from the understanding perspective))

I switched over to you from Microsoft planner due to the feature of being able to set up recurring task but not have it post until the set date. It appears you can do this in legacy, but not in the new recurring task. This is a deal breaker for me to continue your product . I need a product that allows us to schedule and not have it post until the date I set. In your new recurring tasks, even when setting up recurring based on the scheduled date, for some reason you guys still have it set to trigger upon completion of the previous task. This completely defeats the purpose of having that setting at all. You already have an option trigger upon completion/done. I don't get why the scheduled date option would do the same thing. Please make it to the scheduled date only so I can be your customer. I love everything else and want to stay...but that will not work for my team. Thanks!
Additionally...you could also add the start & end date instead of just 1 date. That would be great!
