Recurring Bullet Points

I would love for there to be bullet points that unchecked themselves after a set amount of time (like reset to 'undone' at 8am everyday, or once a week). This would be helpful because there are some tasks I have to remember to do every day, like water the garden, take a vitamin, etc. Instead of having to re-type them every day after checking them off the list, or having to remember to 'uncheck' them in the evening in order for them to be reset for the following day, they could automatically be unchecked after a certain amount of time. That would be great and super useful! I'd call them recurring bullet points, for tasks that need to be completed again and again. They could have a circle arrow next to them, or a little hourglass symbol to indicate that they will reset.

  Hi Juliana,

  We have a prototype of a "snoozing" feature where one can snooze any task to a specific date and it will reappear at the time set. It's an internal feature at the moment... but we may release not too far from now...

  It's the recurring tasks that Juliana asks, not a postponed task.

  When you strike it off, it pops up again after a certain amount of time. Now I use todoist for my tasks because there is no recurring task.

  Hi Mark,

  I understood Juliana's request. The snoozing dynamic is one conceivable way to do what you're saying:

  > When you strike it off, it pops up again after a certain amount of time

  When you snooze a task, it will appear again at the time and date you input. That's what we've got in the pipeline and it fits the bill. We're open to other dynamics... but I'm just explaining what we already have (and have shelved for now). We'll be looking more intensively into date-related features in general not too far from now.

  Hi! It also could be an option "done recurring" that duplicates tasks on completion automatically and place them at the end of the list.

  Hi Erich, 

  We are focusing on several other features at the moment and haven't turned our attention to the date-related features we are planning yet. We're also onboarding new developers... so things will speed up perceptively in the weeks and months to come.

  Like mentioned in my other post, it would be nice to see something like a roadmap.

  Noted. We would love to have a roadmap but can't commit to several features ahead of time. We're trying to find our feet as the development speeds up. We plan and build features and then unexpectedly we are set back with a LOT of bug fixing and ironing out...

  The Recurring Bullet Points feature that Juliana request would improve my daily usage of Workflowy dramatically. Second to that the option of using Google Drive as the backup storage. 

  I hope we see these features in the near future. :D
