Reusable Lists (Templates)

Mindwtr supports reusable checklists for tasks you repeat without strict schedules (packing, groceries, travel prep).

Two Patterns

Duplicate (Templates)

Use when each run is a fresh copy.

Example: Packing List

1. Keep a master task in Someday/Maybe
2. Duplicate it when you plan a trip
3. Edit the copy without affecting the master

What duplication resets:

• checklist items start unchecked
• schedule and review dates are cleared
• recurrence is cleared
• the copy becomes a fresh task with new checklist and attachment IDs

Reset Checklist

Use when you want the same list again.

Example: Groceries

1. Check items while shopping
2. Tap Reset Checklist
3. Reuse next time

What reset does:

• unchecks every checklist item
• updates the task in place instead of creating a second copy
• reopens the task if it had already been marked done

Where to Find

• Mobile: Task editor → Duplicate task or Reset checklist
• Desktop: Task actions menu

Which One To Choose

• Use Duplicate task for trip prep, onboarding checklists, or anything where each run should have its own notes and timing.
• Use Reset checklist for shopping, recurring maintenance, or other lists where the same task stays useful over time.
• If the list also has dates, recurrence, or project-specific notes, duplication is usually the safer pattern.

Tips

• Keep the master version in Someday/Maybe or a low-noise project so it does not clutter daily lists.
• Give template-style tasks obvious names like Packing List (Template) if you duplicate them often.
• If a checklist starts needing due dates or recurring rules on each item, split it into separate tasks instead of overloading one reusable list.
