Copy sub-tasks when recurring task gets marked as done

[VINTX2]

Hello,

when a recurring task get marked as done, the main task will get copied, but not the sub-tasks.
It would make more sense (to me), when sub-tasks get copied, too.

Thanks.

Thank you for the idea @VINTX2! This would need more logic, though, right? For example: the done subtasks should probably be due again, and so on. I don't think I have the time at the moment to support such a feature. Though I like the idea.

Yes, it should have the same behavior as top-level tasks. (at least for my use case)

No, hurry. It would be nice to have, but there are ways around it.

@VINTX2 What kind of work-arounds do you use? I have the exact same use-case and I'm still trying to figure out how to handle it as easily as possible

I do not use this often, so my workaround is not easy, if you use sub-taks often.
I have a note for each top-level task and the sub-tasks are at the bottom of this note.
Most of the time, I am finishing all sub-tasks in a few minutes. In this case, I only mark the top-level task as done.
If the sub-tasks take more time, I mark them as done. After I mark the top-level task as done, I unmark the sub-tasks. (You can do this easily by marking all sub-tasks with your mouse and press STRG+Enter)

Perhaps one idea would be to take everything nested under a recurring task and duplicate it with the main task in the 'next' occurrence in the sequence, and make sure any task that Tasks recognizes as such is marked not-done in the duplicate.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy when you start thinking about the (edge) cases. The effort is simply more than I can handle at the moment.

Fair enough. Thanks for the response, and thanks for all your work.
