Hi team, branching off an idea from this feature request for repeating tasks: [https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Recurring-Tasks/idi-p/9091](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Recurring-Tasks/idi-p/9091)  
The “set to repeat” option is currently available only when users manually create tasks from the task dashboard. That said, having a **bulk edit** option would be invaluable to customers who are looking to create many new tasks or manage existing tasks.

**Possible use cases:**

- Customers are on the Contacts dashboard where they bulk select contacts and hit “Create tasks” to create a task for each of these contacts
- If customers already have existing tasks that they want to “set as repeating” in bulk.

How I can possibly see this happening:

1. Adding an option to “set as repeating” when creating tasks in bulk from the contacts dashboard

2. When checking multiple tasks on the tasks dashboard \> “Edit”, the user can also select “set as repeating” when selecting the task due date and reminder.

This would be an invaluable tool for customer service staff to have. Pretty please make this!
