Recurrence: How to I create future occurrences of a task now?

[John Hughes]

I have a task that I do every day. I want to clone it to appear as a task due on each of the next 90 days, and I would like MLO to create all 90 of those tasks now. So I create the task that is due today, declare it to recur daily, advanced feature to create a copy when complete. Then I click on the box 90 times to complete this task over and over, and it creates a task for each of the 90 days. The only problem is that the tasks status is "complete". If I select all 90 tasks and use Tasks/Advanced/Uncomplete all tasks, MLO will not uncomplete them (I don't see why not). So I go to each one a click on the complete box to uncomplete it.

Is there a better way to create a cloned tasks?

I tested this and got the same uinexpected result from using "Tasks/Advanced/Uncomplete all tasks".  This doesn't make sense to me either.  This looks a small bug.

I notice if I manually uncomplete one of the tasks then manually complete it again, then that one task will get uncompleted when I select Tasks/Advanced/Uncomplete all tasks.

Here is an alternate method that does work as expected-

If you select all of the tasks and hit the space bar, then it will uncomplete all of them.

Thank you so much. I tried this and yes: hitting the space bar will uncomplete all 90 of the task clones created today by a completing a daily recurrence 90 times.

This is easy now. I think I can proceed without a feature request.
