How to Create Recurring Tasks in Jira

Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up recurring tasks using Jira Automation.

Quick summary

Jira does not have a native recurring task feature, but you can automate recurring tasks using Jira Automation with a scheduled trigger. This step-by-step walkthrough shows you how to configure a rule that automatically creates tasks on a repeating schedule.


Steps

  1. Log in to your Jira account and go to Project Settings at the top right.
  2. Find and select Automation from the left sidebar.
  3. Click on the Create Rule button to define your automation.
  4. Start by adding a trigger to your rule.
  5. Select Scheduled as the trigger type to enable recurring tasks.
  6. Give a Start and End date for the scheduled trigger.
  7. Set the frequency of the occurrence for your recurring schedule.
  8. Lastly, set the action you want to have repeated on each recurrence.

📌 Why this matters

Jira does not offer built-in recurring tasks, leaving teams to manually recreate routine work items every sprint or cycle. By using Jira Automation with a scheduled trigger, teams can automatically generate repeating tasks on any cadence — daily, weekly, or monthly — without manual effort. This reduces administrative overhead, ensures no recurring work is forgotten, and keeps project boards consistently up to date. For agile teams managing ongoing processes, automating recurring task creation directly inside Jira is a scalable, no-code solution.
