Ability to duplicate tasks

manfred.dasselaar says:
I just came back to remember the milk after a long time away and must say I love the iPad app. It's fast, it syncs automatically, does all that it needs to do and looks great.

One thing that I do miss from the desktop version is to duplicate a task (in the "more actions" menu).

Will you add this in the near future? - A double finger left or right swipe could do the trick or a "duplicate task" option in the ... more options menu.

Yes, please. I'm almost 100% on my iPad but have to go back to the web application in order to duplicate my templates (long lists of tasks to be performed in a certain order at an irregular interval, so "repeat every" or "repeat after" won't work. I need to, say, kick off a completed project review, so I pull up the project review template (smartlist drawing from a separate physical list that just has a variety of tasks coded to different Templates on it) and duplicate everything, set tags, set due date, etc. LOVE the iPad app otherwise.

Yes! I'm a writer and frequently use tasks such as "Work on Chapter 4 version 5 for 40 minutes." Such "process tasks" are more practical than "product tasks" for projects where it's impossible to estimate the duration. But such tasks need to be duplicated frequently until the project is complete.

I wrote up a solution for this with MilkScript + IFTTT https://github.com/cblupodev/rememberthemilk

Video demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD3ftDkEIVA

Add the tag "duplicate" which triggers an IFTTT action which runs a MilkScript which copies over properties onto a new task
