Hi Cedk, Our team would be happy to implement any further improvements that might be needed (and may come up in this group). Please feel free to propose suggestions.
NB: The implementation is inspired by the Open ERP module, but implemented in a better way (like inherits on ir.cron than create a duplicate model with all the same data). The implementation is also to address a very specific problem which infact is simple periodical duplication of records (but allowing modification of field values) but we thought it would be generic enough to be reused.
