Good question, first I’ll do some grandstanding (is that the right word?) and show how your excellent question is an argument for why delays should default to assuming the previous sub-task.
BOTTOM LINE: The acceptable solution I’d use isn’t presently implemented in MLO (see below). For this pushup project, I’d use a different app. DESIRED SOLUTION: I create a project with 1 subtask, with a delay of 1 day, then copy paste it 29 times. Presently this wouldn’t work because it would ignore the delay unless I set 29 dependencies…which “sure as hell” ain’t happening. PRESENT SOLUTION: Since I sense what you’re after is a bar chart showing how far along you are in your progress, personally I wouldn’t use MLO for this because I do indeed want 29 subtasks. As Leigh said, I’d create a daily recurring task with an end date of “end after 30 times”. Admittedly, though, this lacks two things: it doesn’t show progress, and more importantly, doesn’t tell me when I’m done; rather, it just ends.
