Allow to duplicate checklists for recurring items

Right now the checklist only shows up on the first occurrence of an item

App:
Duplicates 2
Allow sub-tasks to carry over when setting a parent task as recurring

Not sure if this is a bug, or if it's by design, but when I add sub-tasks to an event and then set that event to recurring, the sub-tasks don't appear in the future events. This is annoying when you want to repeat a task with the same steps every time. Can this be added?

Is there a way to make subtasks repeat?

I have set up a recurring task that has subtasks. The task is repeating but the subtasks are not.

Hi everyone, I am very happy to announce that last week's release has introduced something you will be interested in:

Subtasks repeat across a repetition! You can also choose to have different subtasks per exception in the repetition.

Youhou!

This is a popular request, we will implement it at some point.

I just voted for the same idea here: http://support.weekplan.net/topics/582-copy-subtasks-across-all-tasks-in-a-repetition/#. Maybe there are more votes than appears? Looks like it's been a request for a couple of years now. Thanks for making this happen for us Aymeric!

SO DISAPPOINTED when I created a pretty detailed checklist on a recurring task thinking that it would be duplicated later and it wasn't. Frankly, this was a feature I thought was in the software and was a big contributing factor to me considering Weekplan over Todoist. I hope there are plans it implement it soon.

I agree with all above. Being able to make a duplicate of a task that contains a checklist is vital. Thanks,

Hi there!


We appreciate the feedback and will pass this along to the Dev team . It may not be in high priority at the moment but we will have this noted for future improvement. :)

This is extremely important to me otherwise i will have to use two systems for a daily checklist. I really like this system and dont want to have to research or implement another system

Friends, although we recognize this feature can be important for many of you, I have to draw a line at which features we implement now and which ones have to wait still. 


There are 1000s of small features we could be implementing that are important to pockets of users but I believe other things can better help grow the community.


In the meantime, I suggest you use the notes to store your checklist as it works per event:


[ ] subtask 1

[ ] subtask 2

[ ] subtask 3
