[Feature Request] Repeatable cards/tasks

Open Trollwut opened this issue 5 years ago • 10 comments

I'd like to have feature, that I create a task (card) and also can set that it will re-appear after a set time. Two methods of "repeating" come to my mind:

  • every x. [select weekday]
  • or x days after this task has been marked as done

With this, I can setup chores, like a "cleanup database every second tuesday". I can do it the day after tomorrow, too, and it will re-appear the second tuesday after.

This is the reddit thread about the feature: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/i8g9ox/introducing_planka_an_opensource_selfhosted/g19mi1i/

This is already on our list.

Thanks for the quick response!

May I ask, how you will handle the time tracking on this ticket then?

So I guess after I threw it into my "Done" coloumn, it will somehow reappear.

Will it be the exact same card, so time tracking will continue on the already added time; or will it create a copy of that card, which will have 0 seconds on it - and the old card will remain where I have left it?

There are several other quite different aspects for reappearing cards. The one you mentioned is something yet to be discussed. For me the best way is to choose between simply letting the card reappear and reset and having a copy of the old card. Depending on the usage both solutions will be helpful

Any news on this?

+1 for recurring cards. This would greatly enhance the utility of Planka (for me at least!)
