#12 configure default status used in quick add

[Thomas Fotherby]

The "quick add" feature is very useful for quickly
adding a task but it defaults to a "daily task". I
invariably use "open-ended tasks" instead and so it
would be good if I could configure the default status
of "quick add" to automatically create an open-ended task.

I'll look into adding this feature, how's this sound as a
way of implementation...

Add a drop down in the User Config that says 'Default Status
of Quick Add Tasks:' and the drop down will list all
available choices.

Sound good to you?

Thanks,

Rob

Yep, sounds good to me.

I came here to submit the same request.
This really would be a very useful feature.
Especially when you have to change a task to open ended
because if you leave it at "daily" and click complete it
pops up again the next day.

For other's reference, I just wanted to note that I commented
on this in the forums and implemented the following
temporary fix in my version (2.6 at the time) until the more
robust fix is released.

ISSUE:
couldn't figure out why my completed tasks were getting
reset to incomplete
-----------------------------------------
PROBLEM:
I create most of my tasks using the "add" button on
the "show tasks" page. The default recurrence for "quick add"
tasks is "daily." Daily tasks get reset to incomplete every
day.
-----------------------------------------
SOLUTION:
Change control for "do_add_task_quick" so that "quick tasks"
default to "open-ended" as they should (instead of "daily").
That is, a task that a user enters quickly is not likely to be a
task the user has to do every day.
