Subsequent appended TPs would be added before the finish as at present. This would be easy to understand: going to the task editor and clearing the current task is all you need to do as a preliminary, since XCSoar should already know the home field because it should have been configured into XCSoar.
A refinement would be to add a 'New Task' button above the "Append to Task" button in order to make clearing the task memory a little easier to do in the air. There looks to be space for this.
