Can I save a set of tasks as a template?
wyedesign says:
I often have to complete the same set of tasks to complete a project. The project will have different info, but the tasks are usually all the same. Rather than have to remember to type in each tasks separately each time, it would be great to be able to insert them all at once from a template. Is this already possible? Or do I need separate project management software for that?

Another alternative is to create a unique list containing only those tasks. Then, archive the list. When you need those tasks again, unarchive the list.
I'll add my two cents as well, with two ways to do it:
1. Use a specific list and when you need to recreate the task (assuming they are the same every time), you can select the completed tasks (hit the "h" key to view them) and then duplicate the tasks (instructions here: https://www.rememberthemilk.com/help/?ctx=basics.tasks.basics.duplicatetask
2. Option 2 is the linked Python script below used with the RTM API and pyrtm:

Great to see all these different approaches, and even a script or two. Clever!
I've personally set up a task full of subtasks and notes (but without due dates), which I then complete and uncomplete as required, when I need to follow a process.
However, that's quite a 'small' specific job that needs doing only occasionally, as opposed to a complete project that might run for weeks or months!
