This was something that my former task manager (Ecco, a great, but orphaned, Windows program) handled really easily because the Completed box was itself a field (of type date). Not that I'm putting OF down - I am really liking it on many many levels (and still learning its tricks) - but this is just a function that I made use of a lot in Ecco and have been missing in OF.

thanks for the suggestions,

You can edit the completed date and time of an item-just select the completed task and bring up the inspector or display the completed column in the tasks view. Changing the completed date will not, however, change any of the dates on the task that was created when the last occurrence was marked completed.

That's fantastic. Thank you. This perspective is so much handier to me than the one that comes with the desktop app, plus the fact that this one syncs to the iPhone, that I wonder how omni is choosing what perspectives ship with the application.

Are you using the 1.8SP release? The default context for the Completed perspective in the sneaky peeks has changed to what Brian posted. If you are using 1.8 and it is not set to the above, show the perspectives, select Completed, click on the gear icon, and select 'Revert Perspective to Default Settings'.
