Hi bj,
Yes, having looked at the code, you are quite right. The code is smart
enough to adjust all the deadline dates forward (or back), by the
amount specified. However the task status fields are left as is, that
is just copied straight across.
I seem to remember it's a compromise design choice: Which ever way
it's configured, not everyone will like it!
I think it would be reasonably straightforward for you to adjust the
code to make all cloned tasks as 'new'. I can point you in that
direction if you wish.
