Handling Recurring Checklists

[BuxZED]

Hello all,

How would you handle this situation

 

I have a weekly checklist that I go through every Saturday. I have this saved as an item (with sub-tasks) in a “Templates” folder. every Saturday, I copy and paste this outside of the folder, rename it to "<YY/MM/DD> Weekly review" manually and work through the items.

 

is there way to automate the creation of this checklist? (the copying, pasting and renaming)

is there a better way to approach this situation?

 

Thanks!

My handling of recurring checklists is wonderful (thanks to MLO!), simple, and I think suited for you.

--------------------
I made a parent recurring task (say every Saturday) and on the "Advanced Options" of the Task Recurrence dialogue box I checked the following bullets:

• Reset all subtasks to uncompleted
• Automatically recur when all subtasks are complete
  

Then I put the all the tasks of the checklist as subtasks of the parent recurring task (each task NOT recurring).

As soon as you check all the tasks of the sublist as complete, you'll find that they all suddenly get uncompleted again with a new due date on the next Saturday.
--------------------
That's all.

If you want you can play with the options.

Example:

-Automatically recur when ANY of subtasks are complete (only one)

or:

-give the parent task a start and due date.

or

-do not flag the "Do not create a completed copy of this task on recurring
(for any or all the tasks, just to keep a history of the done tasks).


Try some options. Very flexible and interesting.
