Hello

I use recurring tasks to postpone meetings or cyclical working times from week to week.

To do this, I trigger the recurrence when passing the current tasks in the last column (task completed).

The duplication is performed from the date of the task, 7 days later (cycle of one week).

Problem:  
The task is duplicated with properties (Assigned person, category, end time) but the start time is not replicated, which forces me to modify each new task.

Do you have a solution to please duplicate the start time?

Thank you for your help.

Regards  
Philippe

seems to still be a problem, same exact description as above. this is particularly problematic if you have this associated with a calendar (ICS) - it does not show the date time correctly…

Well, it inserts the task as “all day”, without time, at the correct due date. I wouldn’t name this as wrong.  
But it doesn’t start the new task, as @pchauvier mentioned.

I don’t use nor need this feature, but I see this as a valuable option within the _edit recurrence_ dialog.
