JIRA recurring Task

Stefanie Talac

We are looking to use JIRA as a team work planner.

I want to add in tasks which we do on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis but there isn't an option to do this. 

i.e. if I have a monthly task I want it to appear 12 times, quarterly = 4 time etc  But the options for monthly, quarterly etc don't exist in the dropdown. Can these be added?

Also, I appreciate that TSB used a company run JIRA but is is possible to use a local model?

Apologies if this doesn't make sense

Hi @Stefanie Talac 

Jira doesn't have a native recurring task feature like “repeat monthly” or “repeat yearly” built-in. But there are a few ways you can achieve this depending on how your team works:

Automation Rules

You can use Jira Automation to create tasks that repeat automatically.
For example, you can create a rule that creates a new issue every month, quarter, or year.

Example:
“On the 1st of every month, create a new task called Prepare Monthly Report.”

To do this:

Go to Project Settings > Automation

Create a new rule

Use the Scheduled trigger

Add an action like Create Issue

You can set it to repeat monthly/quarterly based on the schedule you define.
