There is currently no way to create a single shift which repeats itself , but only for a limited time. For instance if there is a shift available between 12 and 1 doing Task A, but it only exists for this week and only for monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday, it cannot be applied to those days . You would need to copy paste from day to day or create policy specific to this week . Neither of these options make sense for time saving software. The simplest answer would bea way to drag the shift over many days and it automatically applies the shift to those days
