Very Specific Task Management
May 24, 2017 12:43 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for an online project/task management tool, likely a kanban board, with a very specific feature: the ability to create recurring cards that regenerate with a new due date. I am willing to pay for this.
For example, I want to create a card called "data load" that is due on 5/31. Regardless of whether or not that task is completed on time, I want another task to regenerate on 6/30 with a due date of 6/30. I'm happy to have two different date settings (recurrence date and due date), or to have them be the same. It must be possible to have two instances of the same task at the same time, with different due dates.
Assuming this is a kanban(Trello style) board, I want the card to regenerate in the column of my choosing, not the column where the previous card ended up.
This tool must be web based, and able to be used by multiple people on different OSes.

Response by poster: To flesh out my request, Trello Card Repeater does not integrate with Trello Due Dates. So, in the above example, the card will repeat, but it will still have a due date of 5/31. I need the due date to update when the task repeats.

Best answer: Ok, then you might try ButlerBot which I've seen recommended for this scenario elsewhere.

Two thoughts:
1. Set up an automatic email to a trello board task, http://help.trello.com/article/809-creating-cards-by-email. I think finding an emailer that will schedule is easier than a tasker. You may not be able to have it recur, per se, but you could schedule out all the recurrences in advance, and if the emails aren't sent until they're appropriate, the tasks aren't created until they're appropriate, and your users don't know the difference.
2. Use taskrabbit or something similar, and hire a short-timer to do this periodically for you. Betcha someone's willing to take a few bucks to do something dead simple. That way you don't have to wrestle with something that isn't QUITE what you want, you can just get what you want.

KanbanFlow does this (and is the main reason I used it).
