I am currently testing out the iOS version of MLO. I use a Mac so I do not have access to the desktop version.  I have many projects that have the same steps and I would like to create a template that I can copy and have the parent task and subtasks there.  I can see an option to copy the text of tasks, but not the whole task with its settings.  I would love to move over from Omnifocus, but I can't without this feature. Just checking to see if it's possible.

Thanks!

The issue was resolved in private message, but I'll post the answer here too:

 It is possible to duplicate tasks (with subtasks and all assigned properties) on iOS:

1. Multiselect tasks
2. Tap the "Copy" icon below (see Image1)
2. Select the task where you want to place the duplicates
3. Long-tap and select “Clipboard” (Image2)

Omnifocus is the most time-sucking application I ever used. MLO gives far more for far less time. I, too, was stuck with Omnifocus because of being a Mac user, but now have an option. 

Do try using this Mac app, Crossover, that allows you to run MLO-for-Windows on your Mac, without having a Windows license or anything. It gives you about 99% of the functionality of running MLO on Windows, costing about $40. It can then be used to run a wide variety of other Windows apps.
