New recurring date feature

Dawn Russell_nxj2t5

I've returned to Trello after being persuaded by my business partner to move to Microsoft Planner. That was a disaster!

So back on Trello, I've been trialling the new recurring task option but many of my tasks occur fortnightly and I can't see an option for that (not even a repeat every 2 weeks like some systems have). Would be great if a bi-weekly/fortnightly option could be added in the next round of updates please.

Or if there is a way of setting a fortnightly recurring task, I'd love to know please.

Hi @Dawn Russell,

As of the latest available information, there is currently no native, one‑click fortnightly/bi‑weekly recurrence option for due dates in Trello.

There is a workaround where you can configure a rule that, when a card is marked done or reaches its due date, automatically creates the next card 14 days later.

Automation pattern suggests :

Open the board → Automation.
Go to Rules → Find Create automation:
- Add Trigger:
  - “When a card is marked as complete in a card with a name containing [your card name].”
- Action:
  - “Create a new regular card with title [your title] in list [your list]"
  - and "Set due date in 14 days.”

You can configure it to better fit your case.

This effectively gives you a recurring every 2 weeks behavior, even though the native recurring UI doesn’t say “fortnightly/bi-weekly”.

Hope it helps 🙌

As with many things AI and Trello, that is only half the story.

@Dawn Russell

You can use the above but instead of "create a new card...", simply use the actions "move the date by 2 weeks" and "mark the card as incomplete"

These two actions will replicate what the recurring date feature does but for your fortnightly cycle

Thank you both for your suggestions. I'm hoping I've set up the automation correctly - guess we'll see tomorrow when that card falls due:). I'm guessing I have to mark the card complete tomorrow to make the trigger work. Correct?

This is what my automation looks like (haven't done one before so I fuddled my way through it, but I think I followed your steps correctly):

That sounds great except for the automation costs and limits.

So, is this a failing or an intended tactic to get people to pay extra?

Hi @SabreRunner, welcome to the Community!

The Free plan's automation limit could be a significant bottleneck if you apply this to a large project with a lot of cards.

You can raise this to Atlassian Support to submit a formal feature request for a native "bi-weekly" option in the date picker.

Best,
Liam

Liam, I would absolutely raise the issue with support to formally request 2 week recurrences, except I'm apparently not allowed to contact them because I have a free account. 😑
