Option to automatically show completed tasks in a project

I would like to see my completed tasks within a project when I view the project, without having to press the "Get Completed Tasks" button. I imagine that it would be a project specific setting with options like: "Always show last 10 completed tasks" or "Always show completed tasks from last 7 days" or "Always show all completed tasks", etc...

My use case is that I want to make sure that I remember to add tasks which may already be completed. For example, in my Summer Vacation project, I have tasks for "book flight", "book hotel", "reserve car", "dinner reservations", "dog day care". I've already booked the flight, hotel, and car, so they don't appear in the list when I view the project. But I get paranoid that I may have forgotten to add a task to book the car, and so I want to see that it is in the completed list.

Hello John,

Thank you for your suggestion, we appreciate it and we may consider adding such option in the future.

For now, to avoid such issues, you could try to use sub-tasks. If you create a parent task called "Vacation 2013", for example, and add all the other tasks "book flight" etc. as sub-tasks, if you complete a sub-task, it will not go to the "Get completed..." list, but stay grayed out and checked off on the main list until the parent task is completed.


Best regards,
David
