Recurring Work Efforts
I see there is a recurrenceInfoId field in the WorkEffort entity, but I
can't find a way to set up a recurring work effort. Does anyone know how
that can be done?

How else would it work?
I create a recurring workeffort for depositing my paycheck at the bank.
It repeats every two weeks.
If the recurring workeffort creates a child workeffort, then I can
update the child's status to "Complete" once I deposit my paycheck.
If there is only one workeffort, how do I update a single instance of it
every two weeks?

Wouldn't that result in a lot of redundant WorkEffort records, and the
need for background processes to run to keep them up to date and
consistent, and a lot of risk that they would get out of date and
inconsistent?

Btw, I was thinking a recurring work effort would create child
workefforts - that are related to the parent workeffort as a "Scheduled
Interval" type. What do you think?

Cool. I'll get it working for the existing recurrence rules, then tackle
new rule sets later.

Re: Recurring Work Efforts

Yes, I think so.
I've tried to encourage people to use re-usable entities like
WorkEffort and RecurrenceInfo/Rule to implement these things over the
years, and so there is some code in place for them. Even recently
Bilgin did some work on this for "happy hour" promotions:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1756
There is a bit of code already implemented to determine when a
recurrence applies and such, but I know more work needs to be done.
There are also certain fields on the RecurrenceRule entity that I'm
not sure are really supported, along the lines of what you were asking
about in the other thread for things like "the first Monday of each
week at 2PM" and such.

David,
Thanks for the info!
Would it be worthwhile for me to add some code to the WorkEffort
component to set up a recurring work effort? It's something we need here.

I think it's only used by background code at the minute, or in other
words no UI has been created for it yet.
There is a simplistic UI that populates the entity in webtools for the
service engine job scheduler thingy.
