Odd week task schedule

Hello, would it be possible to setup task to run one day every 2 or 3 weeks using the task schedule?

At the moment we can only schedule weekly, let say every Wednesday, but we run some task every 2 or 3 week, doing the Schedule not productive since we have to set it up to run over night, deactivate for next week, and activate it the week after

David,

We also offer the option for monthly (picking the day of the month) - I know that's not exactly what you're looking for - but could you get close with that?  or does it need to be a particular day of the week when it's executed?

Hello Matt,

We need an particular day, let say every 2 weeks on Monday, is it something that can be implemented?

Regards

David- also, let me ask- is there a particular user interface in a web product for scheduling that you’ve seen this in before? One of our challenges is finding good examples- in this case it often feels like there’s an implicit - “once every 2 weeks starting from NOW...”

Matt,
I've not seen it in a web interface before. The closest example would be the recurrence in outlook meetings. "Occur on Mondays ever 2, 3, 4 or whatever weeks"

We'll look into it. We're running out of time to get it into Clarity 2020, but we've been asked about it a couple of times, so I think it's time to give it a look.

there is a Monthy option now but it has numbers instead of the days of the week in the dialog.

This would not help when there are some months with 5 weeks instead of 4.

That does not work for what we needs since we need to run task on a Friday every 2 or 3 weeks, whatever the day is.
