Allow Recurring Tasks to Have Variable Targets per Recurrence
A
Ahmed Soliman
Currently, recurring tasks in Teamflect allow the due date to repeat, but the target or metric attached to the task remains fixed across all recurrences.
In many operational and performance scenarios, target values change each month (or each recurrence). For example:
January target = 1000
February = 2000
March = 1500
etc.
It would be extremely helpful if recurring tasks could support:
Different target values for each recurrence, while keeping the task structure the same.
This feature would allow more accurate performance tracking across months, especially for KPIs that naturally vary over time (such as sales targets, outreach volumes, beneficiary services, etc.).
This improves:
Performance alignment
Goal accuracy
Reporting consistency

Hi Ahmed, thank you for sharing this feature request! It sounds like a great idea to make recurring tasks more flexible by allowing different target values for each recurrence.
To better understand your needs and ensure we capture the right functionality, could you share a bit more about your use case? For example:
- How do you currently manage changing targets across months?
- Would you need to set all future targets upfront when creating the recurring task, or update them individually as each recurrence approaches?
- Are these targets typically numeric (like sales figures), or do they vary in type?
Your input will help us evaluate the best approach for this enhancement.

Hi Myka,
Thank you for the follow-up questions. Happy to clarify our use case.
- How we currently manage changing targets across months
Right now, we manually create separate tasks for each month, because each month has a different target value. This means instead of one recurring task, we end up creating 5–12 individual tasks manually.
- Would we need to set all future targets upfront, or update them individually?
Ideally, we would like to set all future targets upfront when creating the recurring task.
For example, while setting a monthly recurring task from January to May, we would enter:
Jan = 1000
Feb = 2000
Mar = 1500
Apr = 1800
May = 2500
- Are the targets numeric or do they vary?
They are typically numeric (e.g., donations, outreach numbers, completed beneficiaries, survey count, etc.).
Different months often have different numeric targets based on seasonality, campaigns, or operational demand.
