Daily notes on repeated tasks
meganenloe says:
I want to use RTM for my end of week report to my boss.
I need to edit the notes on a task to show what I did. ie, if the task is "Solve Customer Complaints" I want the daily notes to reflect what I did and for which customers. But that will be different each day. I just tested this and when I changed the notes for day two they changed in day one as well.
Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi meganenloe,
Two ideas that may work for you: First, you could change the repeat to "after 1 day", which will separate the notes for each task the way you are looking for. Keep in mind that this repeat would only generate the next task after you complete the earliest one—you wouldn't have two tasks if you missed a day, etc.
The other idea would be to use separate notes for each day or week, adding a new note as needed. Each task can have unlimited notes, so you could keep a backlog as long or short as you wanted—you can delete older notes at any time. :)
Hope these ideas help!
