Hi @Ярослав Л,

Welcome to the Community and great to see the recurring tasks challenge :-)

There are many approaches to handling recurring tasks in Jira, which is probably why the marketplace offers several apps, each with there own unique approach to offer a standardised way of scheduling. I am happy to add a list with options from the Marketplace for you to look into.

Depending on your needs, it is often possible to use the built-in due date mechanism of Jira. Just update the due date of your task to reschedule it for the next execution.

If it is important to track that a recurring task has been done effectively, there is a good change that you want to effectively close it and create a new task for next week. You can clone your task so you don't need to fill out all the details again.

Jira's automation rules provide you with the power to automate the process. It is possible to set up an automation rule to create a copy of your (recurring) task when you move the current task to status done. You can find an example of such an automation rule in the automation template library.
