# Recurring task

Recurring tasks let you schedule work that repeats on a set cadence so you never have to recreate it manually. Use this guide to set one up from anywhere in Wonderly.

### **Create a recurring task**

1. Click **+ Create New** in the top-left corner of your Wonderly screen.
2. Click **Task**.
3. In the task modal, click the **Recurring** button in the top-right corner.
4. Fill in your task details.
5. Click **Save Task**.

**Expected outcome:** Your recurring task is created in the folder and workspace you selected and will repeat according to the schedule you set.

**FAQ**

**Can I add recurring tasks in projects**? No, recurring tasks cannot be added to projects, as projects have deadlines and recurring tasks do not.

**Where do the recurring tasks show up?** These will be added within the workspace where they were created. To find them, you can use Wonderly’s search feature by clicking on 'Search' in the left-side panel.

## Edit a recurring task

When you edit a recurring task in Wonderly, whether it’s a parent or child task, the changes apply to the entire series. Wonderly allows you to update key details such as assignee, dates, and duration directly from the task modal.

1. Open the recurring task you want to edit.
2. Update the relevant fields in the right-hand **sidebar**.
3. Changes are automatically saved.

#### Field reference

* **Workspace** — The workspace where the task lives. If you are already in a workspace, it defaults to that workspace. If you are on the calendar view, the task is created in your My Private Workspace. Use the search bar to find a specific workspace.
* **Folder** — The folder the task is stored in. Open expandable workspaces or use the **Search…** bar to find a folder by name.
* **Assignee** — The team member assigned to the task. Only users with access to the selected workspace appear in this list.
* **Start Date** — The date the task begins. Set this using the calendar picker.
* **Deadline** — The date the task needs to be completed. Set this using the calendar picker.
* **Duration** — The total duration of the recurring task.

**FAQ**

**Do changes apply to all future occurrences or past ones too?** When you edit a recurring task in Wonderly, changes apply to the entire series going forward, not to past occurrences.

**How do I find the master task?** When you create a recurring task, it exists as a single recurring task entity rather than a master-and-child structure.
