"Unfortunately, "lock period" seems to only work for the current edit. When I select "lock period", make my changes, and hit OK, the next time I bring up the recurrence dialog lock-period is gone. I'd like to see that changed as well - lock-period should be an attribute of the task. "
Yes "lock period" is a global setting. I guess it comes down to how you are using Start and Due dates. What I mean is that the lead time can reflect the time a task will take regardless (which is where you'd use the lock) or where the lead time reflects an immovable due date such as an event/deadline e.g. child's birthday (where you'd leave the lock off and just move the start date). I guess you would have to have the lock global setting for the type which suits the majority of your tasks and reconcile yourself to manual edits on the other type if that makes sense. I seem to recall there was a lot of debate about start/due dates and locked periods when they were introduced by Andrey and he changed the setup at least once. Can't remember the detail.
