[Button] Move all Overdue Tasks to Today´s tasks

Sometime i have tasks from 3 days ago and to move them to Today´s taks i need to do it one by one.

It would be fine if we had some button to move all overdue tasks to Today´s task.

Thanks

Hello Rael,

in order to change due dates of multiple tasks or "catch up" with multiple recurring tasks, please do the following:

1. For non-recurring tasks:
- go to the "overdue" view (type "od" or "overdue" in the search box,
- press and hold the Ctrl button,
- select all tasks in which you'd like to change the due date,
- once you start selecting them, a menu will appear at the top of the screen giving you the option to change date,
- click "Change date" and enter the new date for all selected tasks.

2. For recurring tasks:
- go to each project,
- select recurring tasks using the same method as described above,
- click "Update date" in the top menu, which will set the due date of recurring tasks to the next due date according to their formula.

As for the recurring tasks - usually you should be able to use this function also within the "overdue" view just as you can with non-recurring tasks, but there is a bug, which we're aware of and will fix it soon. This bug makes the "Update date" option non-functional in this view, therefore you have to go to each project and use it from there.

Sorry for the inconvenience.


Best regards,
David

thanks David ! Great tip - even after using todoist for many months I hadn't known about this functionality.
