@vunguyenhung Would adding this prop allow recurring tasks to be retrieved as well? I see it's for the Create Task action.

I had this issue when retrieving completed tasks. I could see completed non-recurring tasks but not recurring ones.

Thanks for the support

Hi @melijimenez11, could you share the exact action that you use to retrieve completed tasks on Todoist app? Screenshots of your action configuration would help a lot too

@vunguyenhung after researching and testing this, I've found that for a task to be created as recurring, it needs to have the recurring pattern established in the due_string property. The due_is_recurring prop cannot be set directly.

I've added this info label to the Create Task component to make this more clear:

"To create a recurring task, use the Due String prop with a value such as every week. See the Todoist documentation on recurring dates for more examples and information."

My issue is not when creating new recurring tasks or completing tasks. My problem occurs when I try to run the new-completed-task trigger within my workflow. new-completed-task doesn't get triggered when a recurring task is set as done (for that day).

I'm trying to detect when a Todoist recurring task is marked as complete (on that day or instance) so that I can run an action on another service. Recurring tasks on Todoist are marked as complete and automatically re-scheduled for the next occurrence. I've had previous experience with Zapier, where this same trigger would run even for recurring tasks. So, it is technically possible to "watch" recurring tasks.

This is happening at the workflow level, and here) is what I can see when I inspect it. Here is a screenshot.
