Recurring task after it is done

Question

Hi,

I would like to create an automation in Jira which reopens a task a certain time after it is done.

So, I would like to mark specific tasks as done and expect them to recur 2 weeks after I initially finished them. Ideally I could choose from a few options, like if I want that the task recurs after 1/2/3 weeks but that would just be a bonus.

I understand how to automate tasks that recur every week but I only want them to recur after they are done - not every week.

Does anyone know how to do that or if that is even possible?

Any help is very much appreciated!

If you are going to reopen the task, then assign a field to mark the status change time(Done) using automation.

To reopen the task you may need to run a scheduled automation that can search for issues with the dedicated field is 2w older, // Date >startOfDay(-13d) and Date < startOfDay(-15d) //. and reopen those issues.

The same way you can create new tasks, if you are creating new tasks then use resolution date to filter the issues. Hope this can help.
