If you have a recurring task and then add (one-off) sub-tasks to it and then
mark these done followed by marking the recurring task done,  the completed
sub-tasks are left attached to the 'new' uncompleted task (assuming you
don't have the automatic resetting of sub-tasks enabled).   Logically, they
should be left attached to the completed copy (assuming you have this
enabled) as they were effectively completed as specific sub-tasks of that
particular instance of the recurring task.

 

I can't see a reason for leaving them attached to new uncompleted task (but
no doubt somebody will pop up with a reason).   

 

Either way, could this behaviour be changed - either in all cases when the
above situation applies, or by providing an option 'Leave completed
sub-tasks attached to completed task' (in which case it could apply to all
instances so that you can see which specific tasks where completed as part
of that particular instance of the recurring task)

 

And whilst I am on the subject of recurring tasks, another minor annoyance
is that if you have a recurring task with a short recurring interval (eg
every day) and several days (say) have passed,  when you mark that task
completed,  the new occurrence should be set to the next occurrence after
the current date/time.    

 

I cannot see why you want those additional intermediate occurrences .   But
if anybody does want to keep this behaviour can it be made an option -
another tick box:   'When marking completed, skip any occurrences in the
past' (or something similar)
