How the task will be repeated?
If you set the start date 2016-09-27 and set repeat every week the task will be auto-created after 7 days from the start date, in this case, the task will be auto-created on 2016-10-03.
How will I receive a notification when the task will be re-created?
The task assignees will receive an email and web notification that a new task is assigned to them or simply you will be able to notice the new task in the tasks list area.
