Feature request: completing a task spawns a new task

steven.hope says:
In almost everything I do, completing one task just means that something else needs to be done - I finish a proposal, which just means I need to follow it up. I write a report so I then need to chase for feedback or issue an invoice.

What I'd like is another button, alongside the Complete Task button, which completes the current task but immediately opens up a new task. I know, it's not a difficult thing to do on your own but replacing three clicks with one is what productivity is all about!

Similar to what I was looking for.

Very often I have completed the main part but probably realised I need to do something similar or a smaller part of it later. But it is nice to close the main task.

So I would like a comple+spawn duplicate button and then able to edit the title.

Probably something someone can write with a greasemonkey script or similar

This idea is considered similar to "In addition to Complete and Postpone, a 'Follow Up' option (marks a task complete and creates a new task to follow up at a future date)", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
