If we could find a good place / keybinding for it, I would find this
feature (complete and add sibling starting with text and all attributes
of current task) a good extension of the existing use model. Even though
the feature is possible with a little work using existing functionality,
it would encourage me to keep better records and to actually complete
and begin a new task rather than being lazy and leaving the one I
already have in my task list, leading to better productivity.
I'm not sure about having it be only from the reminder window though. I
rarely would use it there. Also I'm not sure it's valuable enough to
have on mobile platforms (meaning it would have another menu item and
the list is already really long). I don't think we even have duplicate
task there yet, at least on Android.
Also, I think attention would need to be given to the order in manually
sorted lists for it to truly be useful. I would use this most often from
the Active Starred list, and adding the new task at the bottom wouldn't
work well for me.
So, maybe too much design required to make the cut but I do think the
idea has value.

Thanks Pottster for the suggestion. The problem with keyboard
'workarounds' is that it won't carry to the mobile side. And imo this
is core to the workflow and should/has to work everywhere. In fact I
might argue this is even more important on mobile - when I'm on the go
my attention span is even shorter and being pulled in more directions
at once.
For me it's about speed of entry and not forgetting to enter that
follow up task.
Do you also find yourself making a lot of follow ups like I describe?
Do you think what I'm describing would be useful/make life easier?

You could try Ctrl+d to duplicate the task prior to completion or use
"alternate complete" (ctrl+click on the checkbox). Then edit the
duplicate.

Many times when I complete a task, I need to create another (usually
related) task. It would be nice to have a quick way to do this from
the reminder dialogs.
For example, just now I had:
Task - call dell pro support re: bad power adapter.
So, I make the call and task is finished. I want to mark complete
and I need to create the next task:
Task - Receive -dell pro support re: bad power adapter @waiting
remind 2 days 3pm.
What I typically do now is open the task, select/copy the task text
and then ESC. Create a new task at the same level, paste the text
and edit, set reminder, etc. and then check off the done task.
I think it would be easier if, like we have now there's a 'complete'
button on the reminder dialog - (on Win and Android, I assume ios
too) - I suggest to add a button that completes the task, creates a
new task in the same place in the global outline and starts with a
copy of the previous task text.
I do this very often to track/enter tasks that come out of other
tasks. I've gotta believe others would have tasks that come out of
other tasks too. Do you? Is this useful to you too? Is there a
better suggestion?
Please discuss.
