I think if such implementation is necessary, then the default behaviour should be to unflag everything automatically once completed, since most people seem to not have any need to keep the flags after completion.[/quote]
Disagree with this one completely – in my case it’s the exception, not the rule. Most of my repeating tasks that are flagged should stay flagged so that they come up in my daily “hotlist” each day. An option to UNflag them would be useless to me, although it would be nice to be able to do override this on a per-task basis.
Essentially, I use flags on tasks in one of two scenarios… My repeating tasks for my daily and weekly routine, which are always flagged and stay flagged no matter what (things like “Take Vitamins” and “Reminder daughter to do homework”). This is because I work from a “Hotlist” that only includes flagged and due items and use those flags to determine what appears on my Hotlist.
The other use case is those one-offs that I pull from another list. I might have a routine household chore that doesn’t normally merit inclusion on my Hotlist, but this time around does as it’s something I want to get to. I’ll flag that to bring it up on my “Things I should do today” (as opposed to “Things I could do today”), and when I complete it, it recurs in another few days. This isn’t really the end of the world if it’s still flagged when I complete it, as I can easily remove the flag when it comes back up, but it would be nice to have it automatically removed upon completion. I’d probably use flags more if this options were available. As it stands right now, it’s not that much trouble to remove the flag before marking it complete, especially now that the iOS app provides a swipe-to-unflag option.
