I have a set of weekly reporting tasks, where I collect information on Friday,
and write the report on Monday. It's been working properly for years. Perhaps
this setup will also work for Fred's issue:
Main project: Recurs 1 week after each task completes
Advanced settings: Reset all subtasks to uncompleted, if all
subtasks are completed. Auto recur when all subtasks complete
Subtasks: Recur on Friday (or Monday)
Advanced: Reset all subtasks to uncompleted. Disable Auto recur.
If there's a second level of subtasks, recurrence not set.
Now, the odd thing about this is that when the main project recurs on Monday,
the project status bar registers at 81% complete (with no tasks checked). If
anyone can explain that, I'd love to hear it.

Subject: Re: [MLO] Monthly recurring projects and their sub-tasks
Play with Advanced Options under recurrence. The only way I know of to have
dates changed is through auto recurrence.
I'm pretty sure automatic recurrence on the parent will reset the subtasks and
keep the dates relative, but that the subtask date algorithm goes by offsets,
not dates. So since March and April have different numbers of days, it probably
would get the May dates wrong.
To test you can create your tree, try it out (one way to do this is change
"when all subtasks are completed" temporarily to "when any subtask is
completed"). Then hit "Undo" after each trial to get back to where you were.
I don't think you can use auto recurrence on the subtasks and the parent
because then the subtasks are never complete (they just recur) and it never
triggers the the parent.
I'm curious to see if you find a solution but don't have time to play with it
myself.

I am trying to create a monthly recurring project that regenerates sub-tasks
after I mark the project as complete. The sub-tasks have specific due dates
that I need to carry over all at once (when marking the project as complete)
with the same day of the following month.
For example:
Today's Date: 4/01/13
"Project A" with a due date of 3/24/13
* Subtask parent A - DUE 3/28/13
o Subtask A - DUE 3/26
o Subtask B - DUE 3/27
o Subtask C - DUE 3/28
* Subtask parent B - DUE 3/28/13
o Subtask A - DUE 3/26
o Subtask B - DUE 3/27
o Subtask C - DUE 3/28
* Subtask parent C - DUE 4/03/13
o Subtask A - DUE 4/01
o Subtask B - DUE 4/02
o Subtask C - DUE 4/03
Once Project A is marked complete, a new project with copied subtasks should
look like the following:
Today's Date: 4/01/13
"Project A" with a due date of 4/24/13
* Subtask parent A - DUE 4/28/13
o Subtask A - DUE 4/26
o Subtask B - DUE 4/27
o Subtask C - DUE 4/28
* Subtask parent B - DUE 4/28/13
o Subtask A - DUE 4/26
o Subtask B - DUE 4/27
o Subtask C - DUE 4/28
* Subtask parent C - DUE 5/03/13
o Subtask A - DUE 5/01
o Subtask B - DUE 5/02
o Subtask C - DUE 5/03
