I’ve just spent time setting up a useful system for recurring tasks in Fibery. It was more difficult than I originally anticipated, so I’m sharing it here as it seems a common use case that others may benefit from.
Explainer video:
Import the Fibery template:
Thats pretty cool and useful, thank you!
Could it be shared as a template to test ?
There’s a link to the template in the post above @NicolSpies. Just click it and you can import everything right into your workspace and make any changes you please.
The link opens a signup page for a Fibery account.
The corrected link should be:
https://shared.fibery.io/t/8058e272-b493-48ce-93ee-c23633ddb1ae-tasks
PS. It works super, thanks.
That’s actually the link same I shared in the post.
I do notice, however, that it directs to a sign up link when it it clicked. Not sure why.
Here’s the of a screenshot of the post in edit view:
I think discourse can do some funny stuff when you have a Fibery url in the post.
I’ve had it before where it changed what I shared to something else, and indeed it looks like it converted what you posted to this
EDIT: The below doesn’t work, of course adding +7 to the day if starting date is e.g. 30.01.2025 triggers an error since 37.01.2025 is out of date range.
I believe I solved the same problem in another way. I wanted to share it and found that this already exists, so I’m sharing it here in case it is useful for other people.
The way I solved it is by creating an auxiliary database called “Recurring Frequency” as follows:
You can set up any custom recurring periodicity by providing the days, months, and years to be added (it can be a combination).
Then, when you want to set a date of something else based on the recurring period, set it up like in this example:
Date(
Year([Step 1 Task].[(next) Due Date]) +
[Step 1 Task].[Recurring?].[+Year],
Month([Step 1 Task].[(next) Due Date]) +
[Step 1 Task].[Recurring?].[+Months],
Day([Step 1 Task].[(next) Due Date]) +
[Step 1 Task].[Recurring?].[+Days]
)
Could you please share the other details that you made to make it work? Like detail of the automation and so on?
