Thanks for the suggestion -- would others find this useful?

i agree

Me too. I really would appreciate it.

as would I - in fact, I would like to be able to edit all aspects of a completed task. For example, I just discovered how useful tagging tasks would be - and since I report on my completed tasks, being able to add tags to them would be fantastic.

I just was looking for a way to change the completed date. I tend to mark tasks as completed way after they were actually done. So this would be a very, very useful feature..

Or is there already a way to do that? Thx.

YES!!!!

For me, this is a REQUIREMENT for a To Do list! I use my list to write my weekly reports -- doesn't EVERYBODY???

The ability to edit the item is critical. And the ability to edit the completion date is VITAL.

(BTW, thanks for making RTM... it is very, very close to the perfect To Do List system; especially with the offline ability using Google Gears and the synching with Windows Mobile. RTM rocks)

Yes, I agree. This feature would be very helpful. Sometimes I am not at a computer to "complete" my task and other times I just plain forget to "complete" the task until later. Being able to edit the completion date is critical, especially to keep reoccurring items working correctly.

Yes, I agree. After the task had been marked with Completed label, but I forgot to tag it or other something I want to complement it. Then I must Uncomplete this task and edit it, finally I got the wrong Completed date.

So, I think this feature is must to be.

I posted the following response in the Save Completed Date Thread. I looks like it belongs here.

***********
Not being the diligent RTM user that I should be, I will recognize that a task was completed sometime after it actually was. The time that I had hoped to complete the task is not really important, but the historical record of when it actually was completed is --not the date that I hit the completed button.

Example: I set a goal to get a flu shot in October, but for whatever reason, I wasn't able to get one till the first week of December. Now, I didn't note that until the day before Christmas, December 24th. RTM tags the goal as completed on December 24, not December 4th.

Later, should I for some reason need to know when the actual even occurred, RTM has no record of it.

Correct me, if there is a way. I'm not as deep into the nuances of the software as others.

Yes, please do add this! Also the ability to edit tags and location for completed tasks (which I use for organization).

See: http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/2348/

Thank you!

Would also love to have a created on field for reference and to be able to know how mush time was spent on a given task.

This request has been repeated in the forums for quite a while. Since the completion date is obviously being stored, it should be relataeively straightforward to make it available for editing.

Please do so ASAP. Since I like this application and its availabilty via the web and my iPhone, this is the only feature that precludes me from making RTM my task manager

+1 - right now you don't record the completed date. All you record is the day I remembered that I completed the task. Which isn't necessarily the same thing :-/

Posted at 1:19pm on April 2, 2009

what is the status of this request? this feature is badly needed.

I would also find this useful, along with the ability to edit the title, tags etc of a completed task.

Posted at 2:43pm on June 3, 2009

Please add this feature ASAP.....

Yup, knowing when something was completed is needed for reporting, and you don't always get to click on completed when you should. This would be really nice!

I'm converting my Handyshopper movie list to RTM and I want to be able to update both the added and the completed date to match that of the original record.

In the short term, I'm hoping to find some time to write some Java code to do it for my case, but will try to write it in the general case. Please send me email if you'd be interested in it, or if you know of software that already does it.

+1 - would like to be able to change completion date as well as tags, the ability to add a note, etc.

Posted at 2:33pm on August 18, 2009

+1 Being able to change the completion dates (and edit completed tasks) would greatly increase the value of RTM for me!
