Increment the name of a recurring task on each iteration
Vincent Camerano
Would be amazing to be able to have something like "My Recurring Task #1" increment to "My Recurring Task #2" on the next iteration.
This could maybe be achieved through variables. If the recurring task's name contains a "#", it will automatically increment it.
Thanks!

Create a rolling date in Task Title when recurring happens

Feature Request: Rolling Task Titles for Recurring Tasks
I'm creating numerous recurring tasks, such as daily check-in reports or weekly report assignments. It would be beneficial to implement a rolling task title that automatically includes the date or occurrence number. This enhancement would make tasks easily trackable without the need to examine the closed or due date to identify specific instances.

Recurrence with the name of the dynamic task with variables
Alex Nascimento
When creating a recurrence, we could use some variables so that there are not several tasks with the same name. This way, when the new task is created, it will have the variables, for example:
By Date:
Morning Shift Tasks - {#WeekNumber - DayDate[dd/mm/yyyy] - Day}
Morning Shift Tasks - {#51 - 12/22/2024 - Sunday}
By Responsible:
Morning Shift Tasks - {ResponsibleName ResponsibleNickname}
Morning Shift Tasks - Jhon MacDonald

There are comments on this thread for 7 years.... is this going to happen?
This should be a #1 thing to sort out. Recurring tasks need a dynamic name based on the recurrence or what field the user puts in the name. Without it, the recurrence is not that helpful.
Using a field in a task name should be a default function.
Example: {Start Date} Task Name
The field selected could also have settings for format, if applicable to the chosen field. In this case, that could be things like MM/DD/YR, DD/MM/YR, Month, Month YR, or more.

This feature would be amazing for my business, and for that matter a lot of service based businesses that have monthly recurring tasks. For me as a bookkeeper at a glance it would be handy to see which months are outstanding.

A much-needed feature!

I can help me create an automation in which clickbot creates a task with following properties:
Name- Journal Today: (TODAY'S DATE) with start date as today and due date also as today. Task type as journal and appropriate tags.
Another eg. Name- Read Newspaper: (TODAY'S DATE), with a task template with appropriate prompts to help me engage with my task and retain it better.
Automation for adding task template, tags etc, custom task type is intuitive but I am unable to set dates to achieve my objective here.

This could be done with automations maybe? Instead of set custom field to value, increment/decrement custom field by x. Then we wouldn't have to deal with changing task names and we could get the same outcome. I would use this for workout tracking, where I have week number as a custom field.

Yes, this would be very helpful, as having the same name for mutiple tasks would be creating a lot of confusion

This would be great!! +1 for this feature.
