More timing options for recurring actions

Context
Users can have date-driven tasks that must occur on a specific day of the month (e.g., pay employees every 2 weeks on Fridays) or on a specific cadence (e.g., meet with Sales team on the 4th Tuesday of every month, every X number of days). Our current date picker doesn't support the latter.
Include quarterly, bi-monthly and twice a month
Include annual every x number of years
Scenarios/Pain Points
If there is a meeting on the last Tuesday of every month, users don't have a clean way to set a recurring action for sending out the agenda the day before the meeting (the date isn't always the same).
I have some tasks that occur every three days on a rolling basis, not just every M, W, F etc.).
Our clients require certain actions to be completed by specific business days each month so I wanted to see if we could have recurring dates be configured between calendar and business days. For example, we need "partner reconciliation" completed by the sixth business day every month. We will need this task to be completed in December on 12/10, not 12/6. Add option in monthly recurring to be business day, so weekends are excluded.

Ability to schedule recurring actions on a specific day

Katelin Miles: Thank you for your reply! Ok, so no option for quarterly or bi-annual assignments?
K
Katelin Miles
Patricia Saxenborn: For quarterly or bi-annual, it would need to be a custom date. We have not implemented this as an option!

This would be incredibly helpful! I would also like to be able to see the tasks as soon as you create the occurrence, similar to how the recurring calendar events work in Outlook. We need to be able to schedule out all our tasks for a client for at least a year at a time, and right now we have to do that manually.

Very good. I would also like to be able to set a recurrance to a number of days like 90 days. Or 30 days. Or a recurrance that starts ticking from when the first action is ticked off. So say 14 days after the first action is finalized.

I agree with this feature request- being able to set a recurring event for the 2nd thursday of the month for example is essential.

Currently, you can only set actions or subactions with DUE DATES as recurring, not both. So even though tasks are related to one another, we have to setup as individual actions instead of 1 action with subactions. This really makes the daily task list view overwhelming.

I vote for Hive to add this feature, because I find myself reverting back to outlook scheduling as my main source
