If you are okay with add-ons I would like to suggest using the Issue Checklist Template and Reports add-on developed by my team, which may help with your needs. With this add-on, you can create recurring task with any information or checklist inside automatically based on preset rules. The interface is very straightforward and you can set dates, times and recurrence for you tasks.

You also can choose multiple assignees for the tasks if you will have more than 1 person with the same task and anyone will receive new task with the notification about its creation.

With the ability to reporting in this add-on, you can also check report for the submission dates of all your employees and information from the checklist in one place.

I hope this helps and let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi @SandeepSingh R 

You could use Automation for this, using a Scheduled Trigger.

The Scheduled Trigger allows you to schedule a Task's creation - so at a simple level you could run Task creation once a week on a Friday to create the same Task.

However as you want to run Task 1 once a month on a specific Friday, you'd be better to use a Cron expression (from the Advanced tab).

You can then create 4 separate rules - for 4 separate Tasks!

Hi @SandeepSingh R 

Not a Cron expert - but you could try this:

0 0 * * 5#2

^ Change the #N to each week of the month
