Repeat
The repeating records feature automatically allows you to recreate a record on a defined schedule. This is useful for tasks or processes that need to occur repeatedly regularly.
Repeating tasks in Blue provides several key benefits:
Save Time: Automates repetitive tasks so you don't have to manually recreate the same record over and over. This is great for recurring meetings, reports, newsletters etc. Saves having to rebuild agendas/documents every time.
Consistency: Ensures recurring processes follow the same structure by automatically carrying over checklists, custom fields, etc. Maintains continuity for recurring meetings or communications by copying over attendees, descriptions etc.
Planning Ahead: Enables preparation for upcoming recurring tasks well in advance. Can provide team visibility into future workload demands from repeating records
Creating Repeating records
To set up a repeating record you open the record you want to repeat and click on the ••• menu and then repeat:
You are then presented with the following options:
Repeat Intervals
You can choose from:
Daily
Weekly
Monthly
Yearly
Or, create a custom repeating schedule that gives you significantly more flexibility and customisation options:
Here you can choose:
Starting from: choose the precise date that the record should start repeating from
Repeat every: Choose if the record should repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
End Condition: Choose if the record should repeat indefindely or after a certain date or number of repetitions
Copy Options
When a repeating task gets recreated, you can choose what data gets copied over from the original task:
Assignees
Tags
Custom fields
Checklists
Comments
Description
You are also able to choose which list the record should repeat in. Right now, we only support repeating records within the same project, not across projects.
Be aware that if you delete the original record, this will stop new records from being created with the repeat option.

Stopping the Repeat
To stop a record from repeating:
