Create Recurring Task Via Fusion

[Elanhere]

Hi there, please help! Thanks in advance. 

I've a custom field in Workfront to capture the campaign frequency. 

Based on this selection, I want to create recurring tasks via fusion. I see "recurrence number" and "recurrence rule id" in "create record" 'task' module. Can you please help what should I write in these two fields if I want to create task daily for 10 occurrences. 

I've given '10' for "recurrence number" and 'FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1' for "recurrence rule id" but it ended up creating only one task instead of 10. Please help!

Hi @Elanhere 

If you look at the payload when you create a recurring task in the UI you'll note there are a number of fields that don't even appear in the createRecord module:

{"ID":"","objCode":"TASK","projectID":"66fd3ff.....a804fd462","parentID":"670......bf51a56fe67","name":"XXXXXXXXXXX","priority":"2","taskConstraint":"ASAP","durationType":"D","duration":1,"recurrenceType":"D","dailyRecurrenceInterval":1,"startDate":"2025-03-01T08:00:00.000Z","recurrenceEndRule":"byOccurrence","recurrenceCount":15,"levelingStartDelayExpression":"0 ","durationExpression":"1 Days","work":8,"teamAssignments":[],"assignments":[],"durationUnit":"D","roleID":"","assignedToID":""}

The API apparently doesn't yet support the recurrence fields e.g. "recurrenceType" (daily, weekly etc) or " dailyRecurrenceInterval" so I don't think you can create those in Fusion just yet. 

Instead, I would manually create those tasks as normal tasks, and use Fusion to calculate the start date and set the constraint to muststartOn - the way WF UI does.
