Duplicate Task

It would be nice to be able to right click on a task and have a duplicate option which would duplicate the task and all of the sub items.

Agreed. This would be a good feature for maintaining an accurate completed count.

Hello,

this feature has now been implemented and you can Import/Export task lists in Todoist.

Please take a look at this short video showing how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rl_CLGY_3o

We're looking forward to your feedback - do you like this implementation or would you improve it? If so - how?


Best regards,

This is not the same as right-clicking to duplicate a task. So i think this is not completed. If you want to redo a task tomorrow then you want to duplicate it and set the date for tomorrow. A duplicate task allows your completion count for today to be accurate because you have completed the original task whereas changing the date of the task will not count it as done today.

GAS,

thank you for your feedback. The solution you're referring to would be a bit more complex. If you have just one task to duplicate, its name can be copy/pasted, if there are sub-tasks, you can create a template from this project and import it anytime.


Best regards,

I agree with Gas. One should be able to duplicate the tasks created as many times as needed and their subsequent subtasks.
This would improve the way one could manage their tasks and projects.

I'd very much like to see a "Duplicate Task" option under the gear drop-down. I'd also like to see the ability to define dates as a range. So, for instance, if I know I have Task A to do this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I could set the date to Wed-Fri (or 5-1 to 5-3) and have three separate identical tasks created, one for each day.
