I have a list of routine tasks that I would like to reset to incomplete daily, regardless of whether I have completed any or all of them. Is that possible? I don't want it to automatically reset anytime I check something off, just at the end of each day regardless of how many of the subtasks have been checked off.

I have seen by perusing the previous discussions that I can manually select "skip occurrence", but I'd rather that this list simply refresh each day without me having to remember to do that at the end of the day when my brain is fried.

For reference:
  • I am using PC v 6.0.3 Professional Edition. 
  • The tasks in question are currently setup, for example, as follows: "Routine Tasks" (folder); "Daily" (folder); "Morning Routine" (recurring task); [misc subtasks]
  • I do not get to every task every day (it is an idealized list), but need to still do the same tasks every day, regardless of whether the full list was completed on the previous day. For instance, doing the dishes, swapping out laundry, etc. If I miss getting the dishes done today, I still want it to show up unchecked tomorrow.

I have something similar that I handle differently. The actions that I wish to try and accomplish daily are all set with a recurrence to start 1 day after completion (thus they show up the next day after completion). I don't bother to skip those I don't do, those show as "past due", which helps me prioritize as I know I didn't do them on a prior day.

Thank you, @Elizabeth Lindsay. I'll try that and see how that goes. It seems like that might work well for me also. It seems obvious, now that you've mentioned it. Somewhat like realizing your keys are in your hand after looking all over the house for them for the last five minutes. :)
