Since Latest Completion

For daily tasks, choose Since latest completion to base the next due date on the completion of the previous task.

Here’s an example: Set the task to repeat every 1 day.

• Default setting (Since latest completion not selected): When the task is completed today, the next task’s due date will be tomorrow. If the new task is completed again the following day, the next generated task’s due date will be two days later.

• Option selected (Since latest completion enabled): When the task is completed today, the first new task’s due date will be tomorrow. If the new task is completed again on the same day, the next task’s due date will still be tomorrow.

Subtask Recurrence

If a parent task is recurring, its subtasks will recur automatically unless disabled in the date picker.

What are recurring tasks and when should teams use them?

Recurring tasks are tasks that automatically regenerate on a set schedule after being completed, so repeated work does not need to be recreated manually each cycle. They are useful for anything that happens on a predictable cadence: weekly standups, monthly reports, quarterly reviews, or daily checklists. Using recurring tasks reduces the risk of forgetting routine work and keeps it consistently visible in the project. In Quire, you can set a task to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, and choose whether subtasks should recur as well. Recurring tasks require a Professional, Premium, or Enterprise plan.

What is the Since Latest Completion recurring task option in Quire?

Bases the next due date on when the previous task was actually completed, rather than a fixed schedule. Useful when task timing depends on real completion rather than a rigid calendar.

What happens to subtasks when a recurring task is generated in Quire?

Subtasks recur automatically by default. Disable this in the date picker if you don’t want subtasks carried over.

Can I see comments from a previous recurring task cycle in Quire?

Yes. New recurring tasks start without previous comments. Click the option in the detail panel, or navigate via task ID or Go to task in More Options to view past comments.
